Well done that must be such a relief and good timing hopefully they pay it before Christmas to you 🙂 

don’t forget getting pip can also mean you extra financial help with other things
and being awarded enhanced mobility makes you automatically eligible for blue badge and concessionary bus pass and other things too. 
I think its worth having even if you don’t drive or use public transport a lot for any occasions you’re a passenger maybe?

being awarded enhanced mobility makes you automatically eligible for blue badge and concessionary bus pass

That's not quite correct. If you scored 12 points in "following and planning a journey" it doesn't automatically qualify you for the BB.

In England you will only automatically qualify in this activity if you scored points for descriptor 1E "cannot undertake any journey because of overwhelming psychological distress"

For the "moving around" part then at least 8 points here will give automatic entitlement to BB.

For the disabled bus pass, it will depend on the Local Authority and not all of them will automatically give a bus pass to someone with Enhanced mobility. My LA doesn't and neither did my previous LA.

Wales/Scotland maybe different.
