Remaining politically neutral during General Election 2024


Under guidance from the Electoral Commission and Charity Commission, it's important that Scope remains politically neutral during General Elections.

While we understand that this period will see many passionate discussions, please make sure that your comments remain respectful of other people's opinions and keep to our online community house rules.

Text received saying I have been awarded PIP, should I be worried that I haven't been paid?

    It’s impossible for anyone here to guess when you will receive the money.

    Then it will either be tomorrow or the next day, you will just have to check your bank. It’s not possible for anyone to guess when it will be there.

    If you mean by the money they owe you then it’s not always clear because it depends when the cut off date is for the money you were owed. 

    You can ring PIP to ask or you can wait for the decision letter.

    Thank you. I feel so nervous about which rate I’ve got. Wish they had put it in the text.

    Hello everyone I’ve thought I would share my experience of pip. 
    Called 8/11/22
    Form submitted 29/11/22
    Face to face assessment 15/12/22
    Recieved a tx 22/12/12 to say the had my written report
    Tx on 5/1/23 they had not made a decision.
    25/91/23 Pip payment paid into my bank with no letter or tx. 
    I have tried to work out what has been awarded with the amount paid but I can’t so will have to wait for the letter.

    I received the text at 08:03 in the morning on Friday (3rd February 2023). I assume I'll get the payment on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
