The arrears payment will be calculated up to a certain date and the regular payment will be paid 4 weeks after that date. When you get the decision letter this will contain details.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Welcome to the community @Cjames1608 I'm glad that calcotti was able to clear that up for you. Congratulations on your PIP award, and I hope it's not too long until your decision letter comes through!
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Also, just to let you know, I've tweaked the title of your post slightly. -

Timescales vary for everyone depending on a claimants case and backlogs depending on the area you live. As a guide it's anything from 2-12 weeks from the assessment to a decision.
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. -
@rayrar80 Apolgies for the delay in a response. My assessment was 3 weeks to the date of my first payment. I applied for PIP back in July but i know how busy they must be. The lady who assessed me said its usually 2-8 weeks but could be more depending on the case

Sounds like they've had a paper based assessment which is rare but possible. Nothing more you can do until a decision's been made. If it's first time claim and they're not transferring from DLA then money usually goes into the bank before you receive the decision letter.

Ok if I ring tomorrow for him will they have more information still closed for holidays today thank you poppy very helpful

The only other information to give will be if a decision's been made, if it hasn't there will be nothing to tell you.
