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

    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:
