    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.
