How long does it take for PIP to pay you?
It can take up to 6 months from when you first contact the DWP to when you get your first payment. If the DWP decide you can get PIP, they'll pay you the money you should have got from the date you started your claim.
Do you get paid before PIP decision?
Your Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will start being paid after you receive your decision letter. Your decision letter tells you whether you qualify for PIP and how much you will get. Your PIP will be backdated to when you first made a PIP claim, so you are likely to get a lump sum back payment.
