    If it's a first time claim and you're not transferring from DLA then it's paid from the date you rang to start your claim, providing you had the difficulties for at least 3 months.

    Money owed will be in your bank between 3-5 working days after it was sent. Usually you receive money owed first and then the decision letter within a couple of weeks. About 3-4 weeks later you'll receive the first 4 weekly payment and then payments will be every 4 weeks after that.

    If you want to know what you've been awarded and when to expect the money into your bank you can ring to PIP to ask.

    Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
