    You will only receive a payment if you’re successfully awarded. Payment is usually paid into your bank before the decision letter is received.
    After that letter it’s anything between 2-12 weeks. Quite a pointless letter in my opinion.

    No what I mean is has anyone received a payment before the assessment report was sent out ? Obviously if awarded

    The quickest time I’ve waited for a decision is 3 days after my assessment. Letter was received the following week. Report was received a few days later.

    This was 4 years ago so things were very different back then. Backlogs are huge at the moment.

    BACS payments take 3-5 working days to clear in a bank.
