I expected to my PIP to be paid 4 weeks from the 19th May when they made the decision not 8 weeks. As it is now they're still saying i've been overpaid DLA as I got a DLA payment last week.
teabag wrote: Anon 1955 can you remember what the date the letter was written saying they had made a decision was this 4 weeks before the date they gave you that PIP was starting from and then you had to wait another 4 weeks before you got a PIP payment therefore 8 weeks from the date of the decision. So therefore you dont get paid PIP 4 weeks from the date of the decision you get paid 8 PiP 8 weeks from the date of the decision. Personally I wish I had never gone through with the appeal in january 2014 as advised as I would have had a nice backpay payments of SDP and PIP from july 2013
You are correct that your first PIP payment will be 8 weeks after the Decision, the first 4 weeks will be covered by a final DLA payment, the next four weeks are covered by the first PIP payment, so there is no loss of benefit.
