Pip

Stantheman1

So I applied for pip around 8 weeks ago I had a text message about 4 days ago telling me they have received written report and that I will receive a decision letter through the post. Today I looked at my bank and seen there is a payment of DWP PIP just curious to no does this mean I have been accepted? As I haven’t received my decision yet?

Hi @Stantheman1, it does sound like you may have been accepted. If you give them a call they can let you know for definite and tell you what rate you'll be receiving.

Hi I received my letter I was awarded standard allowance on daily living but nothink else. I think this is wrong as I need help mostly with mobility needs so I’m going to appeal

So four days after your text your money was in your account god that's quick

Sorry to hear you don't agree with the decision @stantheman. The first state of appeal is a Mandatory Reconsideration and we have some information here that may help you:
