    Hi @smokeyjoey - Your PIP payments will continue. From the governments website, 'where awards are due to expire, we will be extending end-dates so that claimants continue to receive financial support at their current rate during this period.'
    Hope this helps. :)

    @kass What was the decision after your assessment if you were not given any award then that is why the payments have stooped. The extension is for people who award is due to expire but no reassessment has taken place but in your case you have had an assessment and a decision

    If a pip ends on 23rd april 2020 and you get the decision letter saying your money going to stop from that date and its payed in arrears is that the last payment i would get  or was I due another in May as i only got 3 weeks  money for my pip and 2 week SDP 

    Thanks

    Great news, thanks for the update. It can take between 2-8 weeks for backdated money to be paid and about the same time to put an award into payment. Although this is just a guide, there's really no timescales.
    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.
