Hi,
How soon do you usually get pip backdated before the decision letter comes through ?
I’ve been told to wait 4 weeks from my assessment.
it’s the 3rd week tomorrow

Hi and welcome to the community
The decision usually takes 8 to 10 weeks after assessment there are no fixed timescales but that is the average at present
Once decision is made it takes couple of weeks then for payment to be made0 -
Is payment not made before decision letter arrives ?0
-
In most cases yes the reason is the letter and payment are released and sent at the same time so the payment clears quicker than the letter arriving0

Hello @private_Scoper
Welcome to the community, good to see you join us.
As mentioned above you're looking at around a couple of months for the decision after the assessment, though that isn't the case in all situations. Hopefully yours will be sooner and you get a positive outcome.0 -
Cheers. I appreciate the comments0
