Tribunal Triage Decision

Hello all,
I'm hoping there's someone out there who either is going through the same process currently or someone who may have the answer., I can't find it anywhere.
Basically on 24/04 I received a letter from the tribunal service that says a stand-alone judge has looked at my case at triage stage and has decided to award me standard rate of daily living component. I and the DWP had 28 days to respond if we agreed or didn't. I responded accepting DWP didnt, so by default the DWP has conceeded via non-challenge. 28 days has now gone by. The provisional decision will now be made into a final decision.
But can anyone tell me when this will be? The courts don't know, I don't know and neither does my representative. It states on the letter after 28 days it will be made into a final decision. Its very vague on the definition of 'after 28 days'.
Anyone had same experience? No information at all out there on Google etc

Somewhere there’s a note on a system to say when the 28 days is up. Ordinarily that flags up and a clerk would then bring that to the attention if a salaried judge who would then finalise the decision whereupon a clerk distributes that to all parties and the DWP payment process can grind into action.
A very warm welcome.
It seems to me your glass is half full, in that you have been awarded PIP, without the need to attend, a Tribunal.
No one has detailed insight, on how the tribunal service is coping in these virus times.
Though @mikehugghescq has given his, inevitable best insights.

I'm still open to other members replies if they have experience of my situation.
I'm surprised DWP haven't helped the FtT by lapsing the appeal. Would help the backlog fractionally. But I'm sure majority know how the DWP work.
Stay safe guys
