8 Weeks waiting for my first PIP Payment.

Hi, I have been awarded enhanced awards on both care and Mobility which is great. I have received a letter setting out my decision and am a little puzzled. The letter says "Your first payment will be made on 12th August. Your award then starts on the 18th July, however, we can't pay you for the first 4 weeks of your claim as the law does not allow it. Then I have to wait 4 weeks as the payments are made 4 weeks in arrears" Is this the norm? Especially being unable to pay for the first 4 weeks by law? My DLA stopped on 27th April, the same date i made my PIP application. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. Paul

I've looked at your previous posts but I'm afraid I am struggling to work out what is going on with your PIP claim. :(

You reported a failure for your PIP claim in April with zero points but then almost immediately
started posting about an assessment, too fast for you to have made a new claim.

However, if your DLA did stop in April/May then any new PIP award should be backdated to when you made then claim. If your DLA was not stopped then it continues in payment until four weeks after the Decision on your PIP claim was made, as apparently detailed in the letter you have received.
