Should I call them again do you reckon? Or wait until Friday?

Honestly I'd hold off and wait until Friday @iamlawrie you'll just end up worrying yourself into ill health and we don't want that!

I agree. Will wait until Friday. Have still not had my letter yet neither. Tomorrow is when universal credit comes in so am hopeful. Thanks for your support

Hi all someone on reddit suggested I called them, so I did and there is a delay in them paying me, it will be another week at least the delay is because any backpayment of over £1,000 they need to do some extra checks, it was worth me calling them tho as they actually owe me over £5,000. I can sleep easy knowing this.

That's good you could get things cleared up @iamlawrie, hope it comes through soon 😊

Ok would seem I am in the minority as its now 15 days since my pip decision and ive yet to receive the letter as promised in two weeks and also any payment.

Hi @iamlawrie. Fingers crossed the letter arrives soon. Take comfort in knowing that the payment is on its way, it's just being a little bit slow.
Keep us updated 😊

Just lacking self worth at the moment and confidence.

It's payments of more than £5,000 that need to be checked and verified, not payments of more than £1,000.
The time you've been waiting after the decision is not normal and I would have expected you to have received money owed and the decision letter by now. All I can advise is that you ring PIP again on Monday when they open at 9am.

I'm so glad you're feeling better 😊 That's made me smile. I'm good thanks. Got a dog and 2 cats keeping me company whilst I work, it's lovely.

That sounds nice. Just planning a trip to see my friend in Scotland, was cheeky and asked if I could stay with him 'save money and he said yes'. Tho do I fly or get a train.

Im working from home too.

That's not cheeky, that's just being frugal 😉 I'd opt for the train as I find them less stressful but it's whatever suits you best.
I love working from home, I get to listen to my music and talk to everyone here 😊
