Hi I just received a council tax and housing benefit letter and it states I get PIP so they must be informed directly .

When an award is made, all departments are notified electronically.  Often any change will be made before you receive written notification

I figured that as well 
Puzzled how people get away with fraud because they know what's happening before I do.   

Is PIP a non taken into account benefit though like DLA, it's not inclusive or whatever I mean.

PIP is treated as a non means tested benefit and has no impact on ESA CB or IR

My normal allowance from DWP, wasn't' paid into my account Monday. Did't realise until today.  Rang up and the said it would be paid in tomorrow.  Maybe an indication that my assessment for PIP has been decided!m

Generally speaking fraud rates are hideously over-stated. DWP accounts have been qualified for something like 19 years in a row i.e. not to be trusted.
