Ihad my tribunal 10 days ago got my letter confirming i have been given 9 points(only given 4 points at med) and standard care and has been backdated to 21/07/2015 I havnt heard off dwp
do you think i should give PIP a ring and check they have details etc. Also I am on ESA wrag group somebody told me that i will get extra money through PIP award as i live on my own is this right and if so would that be backdated and when should i contact esa
I have the decision but dont know what to do now

May thanks

Congratulations on the result.

I would give the DWP a quick call, they regularly lose/claim they have not received the Tribunal Decisions, so it's worth checking that they have it.

Payments usually take 5-8 weeks to be processed.

Once your PIP is in payment you can ask about the Severe Disability Premium, you need to be receiving Income Related ESA either in whole or in part for the SDP to be paid. It should be backdated to whichever is the later, when your ESA was awarded or the PIP was awarded.
