in PIP, DLA, and AA
I received a text saying I been awarded pip but that's it. I understand there are 2 levels of daily and 2 of mobility.

I never understood the lady on phone and she totally confused me. Is it possible to just receive the lower mobility and that's it. Or to get this lower mobility you need to get the lower daily pip.

The lady at citizens advice was saying I might only get lower mobility no daily but I don't understand that . 

I appreciate any help and advice as this help me better understand when a payment goes through as many say it pay before the letter.

I am just so so happy to be awarded pip because of all the worries.

Thank you for your help

    Yes you can be awarded any part of PIP. Some are awarded just the mobility and some are awarded just the daily living, while others are awarded both.
    If its a first time claim any money owed is usually in the bank before the decision letter is received. The decision letter will explain everything.
    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.

    In this thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/96115/hello-today-i-was-awarded-pip-after-months-of-worry#latest which was on 23rd September, you said you had the text that day. It takes 3-5 working days for money to go into your bank so you wouldn't receive it yet. It will likely be in your bank sometime this week.

    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.
