I made a claim for pip on the 4th October had a decision which confirmed I had been approved for pip on the 19th december. 

I received a payment of £645.01 but still haven't had a decision letter or any other payments .

That's a very quick decision. The letter normally takes a couple of weeks but may take longer due to Christmas holiday period and strike action.

The payment you have received will be for arrears from 4th October. The next payment is likely to be roughly 4 weeks from the last one. You will then get paid at 4 weekly intervals.

When you get the decision letter you can challenge the decision if you don't agree with what you have been awarded.
