payment before dreaded envelope

Is it safe to say that if you win MR for pip that you would notice a healthy looking bank account before receiving the letter as this is how it is done when winning first stage pip , or letter first , payment after ? Its so stressful waiting every day but almost pleasing when no brown envelope on the door mat. Think I'm losing the plot .

Oh I don’t know how it works . I have just been through my pip assessment and awaiting the results .... let me know if you find out ..

Good luck xx

I won my last MR and I got the payment in my bank account on a Friday and a letter the middle of the following week.

My payment went in before I got my letter when I was awarded my mandatory decision .pretty normal for DWP do everything back to front !!!!

Plenty of folk reliant on benefits are losing the plot. I fear there are some with full blown PTSD because of it. These assessments, tribunals, having your income suddenly disappear leaves folks feeling powerless, vulnerable and scared. Managing on reduced money, cutting down on food warmth etc to keep your home, it's not healthy. I doubt anyone who has to appeal is ever going to be the same after such cruel treatment.

Well said. It’s completely wrong, undue stress makes our symptoms worse. They just don’t care.

Think its payment first & then the letter that you have to scrutinise to get any sense out of it. All just to confuse you
