Hi,
It depends when the decision was made on the PIP. Your award letter should tell you when your first payment is due. Usually you'll receive 1 payment of DLA and then your first PIP payment will be 3 weeks after that. Usually first PIP payments are for 3 weeks, then it's 4 weekly after that.

Thank you for the reply it's just I read that you only got your first pip payment 8 weeks after the decision, hopefully I'll get my award letter next week as decision was made 07/02/19.

DLA is paid 4 weeks in arrears, so you'll most likely receive 1 more payment after the 12th, which will be your final payment for DLA. PIP will be 3 weeks after that.
