PIP assessment failed or christmas payment issue?

I had my PIP payment early too (got it today instead of Tuesday) and it was for my normal amount.
Like you I had a new assessment in the middle of last year, normal amount being paid, until three months later when my payment suddenly dropped by £100.
Two weeks after that I received my “new award” letter.
By this time I had phoned them, so I knew what was going on.
I’ve never heard of a fast payment for pip though.
Didn’t they pay it, so you had to call them to get them to pay you? That’s the only way I know of for them to issue a “fast payment”
If your still worried, call them on Monday.

@Stevebrum74
you mentioned that your payment suddenly dropped by £100 but did it go back up again or did it stay £100 lower because your new award was for less money?

Hi, my take on what you have said is that there is so much money in the pot to be paid out and when this amount is reached.

They then have no choice but to turn some people down by the time their appeal has gone though and its won, its their turn to have money from the pot, as so it goes on

So the amount in the pot is paid

That maybe your take on it but its nonsense, there is no pot or maximum amount that will be paid out, its about entitlement.

Hi, if is only about entitlement then when people win their appeals they were entitled before ?

Its all to do with money there is not an endless pot of money to pay every person their entitlement first off otherwise they would ?
