Pip payment

[Danlos166]

Hello. I had my assessment about 6 weeks ago. Today I noticed a payment from pip in my bank account but I have not received any letter confirming this has been awarded. Should I get my hopes up ? Or is this a one off payment ? Has this happened to anyone else ? 😀

Yes, the letter's will normally follow. So pleased for you. x

Yes my wife suddenly found a lot of money in her bank as she had been waiting a long while for decision. Letter arrived a week later I think.

Fingers crossed for your daughter. No I cannot remember exactly when I rang. I will just have to wait till I get the letter. x

Thought i would update, just called up and they say the letter is in the post and its lower rate care until 2022 so its what i expected but its taken a long time and the report was such a fast, like reading about somebody else's daughter but its done now!

Well done u 😊looks like gd news it's 6bweeks today I've been waiting I'm hoping I hear this week

It quite often happens, there will be a letter on the way explaining it all. Joined up action and thought isn't always a feature of the DWP, unfortunately!

You could have phoned DWP for your answer instead of hoping someone on the forum can, could give you information. Plus also a week after your assessment you can request a copy of your assessment report and on receiving it you can workout what you're award may should be but you still have to wait for the official award confirmation letter.

[Danlos166]

Your right I could have phoned but I suffer with anxiety and making phone calls make me anxious. I will just wait for a letter.

Make sure you ring dwp and ask about sever disability payment it’s worth quite a bit of extra money each money they won’t tell you this by letter I rang and the gentleman I spoke to was brilliant he said if I was awarded pip I should be entitled to this extra benefit he asked me 3 questions and sent me a form to sign and that was it so easy good luck
