Hi everyone. Today marks 2 weeks from getting the award text saying to wait up to 2 weeks for the letter. I have had my back pay but no letter just yet. Just wondering how long it has taken everyone for the letter? the wait is killing me

That does seem a long time to wait. If nothing today, phone PIP tomorrow at 9am and they can send another copy out for you.

They say up to 2 weeks but could be longer. If you don't receive it by the beginning of next week then give them a ring and ask them to send you another copy.
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. -
Nothing yet
starting to think it got lost or something -
I'm sorry the letter is taking it's time getting to you @ellie_rsg, fingers crossed it'll come today, if not early next week!
Let us know when it does arrive, and please ask if we can help with anything in the meantime

Just ask them to send you a copy of your award letter because you didn't receive the first one they sent.

Phone calls can be tricky @ellie_rsg I understand, as Poppy has suggested you just need to ask for a copy, and explain your letter hasn't arrived. If it hasn't come by tomorrow, I'd give them a call, as frustrating as that is!
Let us know if it turns up tomorrow Online Community Coordinator

I would put in a complaint. You waited quite sometime for the decision letter and when you did receive it, you received someone elses. Some else's with all their personal details on it. Quite shocking! https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-work-pensions/about/complaints-procedure
