Hi everyone I won my PIP Tribunal award on the 28th of April 2020 and will now receive the Enhanced rate of Daily Living should I contact the DWP to see what is happening with my claim?

Hi @Parsonsboy
The waiting time to receive back pay is usually 6 to 8 weeks. In the current covid times its probably fair assume that the waiting time is much longer. If you do decide to contact them now or in a few weeks the PIP helpline is 0800 121 4433. Hope this is helpful.
Best wishes
