I seem to have been awarded PIP. Help.

Hello! 

I applied for PIP 73 days ago on the 5th of July and got my first payment of £1,569 today on the 16th of September. I am a little puzzled because I did not get a phone assessment, but did provide a lot of evidence and told them that it is difficult for me to speak on the phone. (I have autism and OCD for anyone wondering) Does this happen often? I didn't think it was possible to receive PIP without an assessment, but I am very happy and grateful because they seemed to have listened to me and my healthcare providers. 

Also, I believe the letter will follow soon, but I was wondering what rate I received. I am expecting the daily living component because I do not have mobility issues. 

Thank you.

    You can ring and they tell you on the automated system how much you will get every 4 weeks and how much I have been awarded enhanced pip and standard mobility but I haven't had a payment yet I started applying on the 7th July and I received a text this morning to say it had been awarded

    Hello, I would say that amount you have received is 10 weeks of enhanced daily living and enhanced mobility :smile:
