Morning everyone. Do the. Payments go in first thing in the morning or anytime of day?

Mine usually goes in, in the early hours of the morning. The only time a payment would clear during the day is if a fast payment was made.

andysimpson2

thanks poppy 

I did think it might be but I have had the odd thing arriving during the day. Onto tomorrow we go then lol

andysimpson2

do you ever see the payment as pending before it lands (I am Lloyds bank ). Sorry for all the questions just don’t know how it all works 

poppy123456

With my bank you can't see pending payments. I asked my daughter the same question a few weeks ago (she doesn't claim any benefits) i asked her if she can see any pending payments and she said no. She banks with Lloyds.

andysimpson2

I feel like a big kid at Christmas waiting for Santa lol. It could be upto Tuesday I suppose 

andysimpson2

What does the payment show as on your bank statement?

poppy123456

NI number, followed by DWP PIP.

You’re welcome. Haha a lot of people ask that but I spend enough of time here advising people lol. I don’t have time to go anywhere else.

Morning guys 

do you get paid from date of claim and for alll owed weeks in the first payment?

poppy123456

Yes, from the date you rang to start your claim and up to a certain point. Your decision letter will tell you what dates it's paid from and to.

andysimpson2

Trying to work out what I have been awarded and from when. I filled in the form online on 12/4/22

poppy123456

It's from the date you rang to start your claim, not the date you filled in the form. I'm assuming you've had the money they owe you?

andysimpson2

I have had a payment but not sure if it’s 5 weeks at 1 rate or 13 at another 

poppy123456

The increase was from 11th April. I think you'll need to wait for the decision letter and it will tell you on there. Glad you've received your money though.

andysimpson2

Thank you. I will wait and see

Hi all
ive been awarded lower rate mobility til 2026. If I get diagnosed with Angina is it worth telling the dwp?

poppy123456

A diagnosis, is not classed as a change that needs to be reported because it's not about a diagnosis.
