    Hi @icequeen, and congratulations! From what others have said, it appears to take the DWP 5-8 weeks to put a tribunal decision into payment.

    Hi,

    You would contact DWP but as Pippa has advised, it can be anything up to 8 weeks and sometimes longer.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @icequeen

    My tribunal for PIP was on Oct 11, and I got the money today. Still don't have the letter showing my award, tho. Different in different areas of the country, but hopefully my experience is pretty average.

    Hi, I won my tribunal in September and had to wait 6 weeks for the years backdated money to arrive. They called about a week before the money arrived and asked if I had been in hospital / prison (which I haven't ), and then said it was being processed..
