    The PIP decision can take up to 12 weeks from the assessment.

    It's Saturday, which isn't a pay day DWP use. Some bank release payment on a Saturday. If you still haven't received it by Monday morning you will need to ring PIP. As you're waiting for a review decision, if you're refused then your PIP will end.

    I'm sorry to hear what's happened @dannyUK76 that must be stressful. As it's the weekend, I'd also recommend waiting til Monday to give them a call, fingers crossed the money comes through between now and then :) 

    Sometimes I find if you use a mobile banking app, they can have maintenance at the weekends, which can slow down transactions.

    I'm so sorry to hear this @dannyUK76 this kind of news can be a real knockback. Do you have ongoing support for managing your mental health and wellbeing? 

    It might be worth checking in with your GP about how you're feeling, as this is difficult news to hear. You can also self-refer for additional talking therapy support if you need to. 

    Take a bit of time to process things, and if you do change your mind and still want to challenge the decision, which you have every right to do, Turn2Us has clear information on your next steps.

    If there's anything further we can do to support you, please ask.
