    The letter usually arrives within a couple of weeks.

    Backpay generally arrives before the letter.

    After that you will receive your first PIP payment 4 weeks later.

    thank you

    Now onto the challenge of appealing the higher rate

    Missed out by points on daily living

    I scored 8

    But top points for everything else .

    Citizens advice has told me it does not make sense .
    just waiting for the official letter now then start the appeal for higher rate . Have more than enough evidence. But been told if I d o appeal I could loose points .
    so drawing so confusing and pretty scared in case u do loose points !!!
