    HI,

    Great news! It's backdated to the date it stopped. Payments can take 8 weeks. DWP will eventually contact him.
    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.

    No they don't usually send confirmation. They will contact you before they make payment but as advised, this can take 8 weeks.
