:S Not just me then! Seems clear that the whole department is a disaster and worse to come.

Having waited 8 weeks since Appeal, I finally had a call from PIP dept informing me payments will be made next week.

There is another related issue I thought you guys might help with.

While waiting confirmation of my PIP payments, I took it upon myself to fill in an IS10 Severe Disability Form, a component which I am entitled to. I sent it 3 weeks ago to ESA dept who acknowledged having received it. However, they obviously had to hold back in processing it until my PIP was up and running. My question is:

Does PIP dept inform ESA dept that I am now receiving PIP or will ESA dept pick up on it and refer to the Form I sent?

It's always better to notify DWP departments yourself, rather than relying on them to be efficient! :(

They should, but I would not rely on it happening and would give ESA a ring once the PIP is in payment.

I've just called both PIP and ESA Depts.

PIP dept have said they will place a request on the system that confirmation of my PIP be sent to ESA dept.

ESA dept in turn said that they will look out for it.

I assume that's good enough.
