    Hello @shelly40 and a warm welcome to the community. 
    Congratulations on being awarded PIP! It's great to hear that the process was relatively easy for you, it is stressful so it's great that you've received the good news relatively quickly.

    In terms of payment, it's possible that you could receive your first payment before the letter confirming your award arrives as this tends to happen quite frequently.
