in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi, new here. 
Recently applied for PIP, I just had my text to say I've been awarded and to wait for my letter.
Does this mean Ive got at least the lowest payment?
Can they say I've been awarded but give me nothing?
It's only a week since my telephone assessment
Thanks in advance

    They've started to send out text messages for those that have been awarded. If it's a first time claim and you're not transferring from DLA money owed is usually in the bank before you receive the decision letter.
    The decision letter will tell you what you've been awarded and for how long. You award can be ether standard or Enhanced daily living and or mobility.
    You can ring PIP if you want to know exactly what the award is or you can wait for the letter to arrive.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
