I made the initial phone call to apply for PIP in December 2021,filled in and sent the form in January 2022,they put me through THREE phone assessments - apparently they'd needed extra info,didn't tell me the first and second time so put me through the full thing again two weeks ago!
Anyway,got a text this morning - the decision letter will follow soon - but the text confirmed I've been awarded PIP.
Does it get backdated to the original phone call in December,when they received the form from me in January,or later?

@calcotti I'm in Scotland but it will take them time to switch us all over to the new ADP.0

PIP to ADP process will be anytime up until Summer 2024. https://www.mygov.scot/personal-independence-payment-is-moving

Knew about the ADP timeframes - thank you though!
So how long from the decision being made (so last Thursday for me) does it take for the back payment to arrive? I've heard some get it before the decision letter arrives in the post,others have waited way longer!0 -
3-5 working days for it to go into your bank from when payment was made. Yes, usually money owed is received before the letter.0

I took it to MR stage in November and was due the decision by today (12/03/24) - heard nothing,despite lots of update texts. Got me worried. Challenged descriptor 9 (for those that know about that one - social interactions/support?) My local CAB have been good with the support so far with the process.0

Sparky3683 I am the same as you, new claim for PIP refused with just 6 points on each, did an MR in November, and had several texts saying will hear by 12/03/24 and heard nothing via text or letter.

Hi @Jackieismyname, welcome to the community.
Wait times are getting fairly long now unfortunately, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you hear something back soon! Have you tried calling them this week?0 -

They should be more honest about wait times! 16 weeks all in all isn't great They put me through three assessments - twice saying they'd contacted me for extra info ,they hadn't! So more distress,which they seem to love
Pretty sure because there's a review next year for me that they're dragging it out also. Plus the move to ADP (as I'm in Scotland) hasn't yet happened.0 -
New claims for PIP are reasonably quick. Reviews are taking considerably longer.If you think PIP timescales are unacceptable then you maybe in for quite a shock with ADP because they are worse based on feedback from other members.0
