Hello all I'm new here 

I do have a question 

I called the pip enquires number today as I've heard you can get an automated response yelling you how muchonwy you will be getting, however it goes through several options but none I need ? I had a text today to say I've been approved pip . It's no biggy really just impatient!

Thankyou 

Rach

    The automated payment line isn't known to be very reliable. If you want to know what your award is then you will need to ring them and ask, or you can wait for the decision letter, which you should receive in a couple of weeks.
    If it's a first time claim any money owed is usually received before the decision letter.

    You won't get a response on the automated line till you get a full decision.

    You are welcome @raquel19. It is the very least you deserve.

    Have you been able to give them a call yet? Just wondering how it has gone and if you need any further support with this  :)
