in Start here and say hello!
Hi, I’m new, I received a text from DWP on Friday to say they have awarded me pip and the details will come in a letter. I know the letter takes two weeks, do folk know, will my first payment be after the letter arrives or should I look for it before? Thanks for any help.

    Check your bank on Wednesday - Friday. It's usually 3 - 5 working days after award. The money usually comes first.

    Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. I feel like I am trying to wade through treacle in understanding everything plus dealing with all the health and disability things that come up.

    It can be a tricky and tiring process to say the least @BlondeFaerie and I'm glad the community could help to reassure you :)

    Hopefully your letter will arrive before long, and you can put your mind to rest!

    If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask, and feel free to take a look around the forum if you'd like.

    Alex
