Text from PIP saying I've been awarded and letter will follow. How long is the wait for the letter?

Evening, has anybody else received a text telling them they have been awarded PIP and the letter will follow, if you have how long did you wait for the letter .

Yes, quite a few people here. This seems to be a new thing that DWP have recently been doing. If it's a first time claim and you aren't transferring from DLA then any money owed is usually received in your bank first. Shortly after you'll receive the decision letter.

Welcome to the community @Frenchy78 As poppy123456 has explained, we've had a few members mention this. If you take a look through the PIP category, you'll be able to find some similar posts to yours. 

It's difficult to say exactly how long it'll be, as it can vary, but I hope it's not too long until you receive your award and payment! Please do keep us updated.
