You do not always get your payment before the letter. My decision was made on the 9th of March and my backpayment came in yesterday. I phoned and they told me a decision had been made. It was not until I asked them what the decision was that they told me it. I would ring again and ask what the decision is.
My letter has not came yet - probably today. Hope you get a good decision.Shady. -
Oh OK thank you so am I best ringing them back and asking them
-
Yes I would ring it won't do any harm! I got my decision there and then on the phone yesterday morning!
Good luckShady. -
It took two weeks for the letter to arrive.
If you can ask for your assessment as well. If you don't ask they are not programmed to talk and offer you a conversation.
Welcome to the forum. Nice to have you. Do stay in touch with us.Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -
Thank you I will ring them in a bit and I will let you know on here thanks for helping me out

Thank you very much

Hi everyone, just for information when you call DWP to ask about a decision the operators won't give you any information because there is no information on your file reference to your decision. When a decision has been made the information is updated to your file and the operator can then relay the information to you, and the letter comfirmation arrives in next 10 days or so.

Yea that's true but they did tell me that I was awarded it also does anyone else know if there is any other stuff what people on disability can apply for please thank you Michael

PIP can passport you to other benefits such as council tax reduction, housing benefit
If you also receive ESA then you may also claim disability premiums if you have an IR element
Try putting your details into one of the online benefit calculators

Could anyone help me with this question please do I still need a ESA assessment even though I have been awarded pip does anyone know
-
ESA and PIP are separate benefits and each require their own assessment
