We've awarded you PIP (NI) text

Hi, I received the above text on Monday morning and I am wondering when I will receive my first payment as it's badly needed. I've read different people saying 2 weeks for decision letter and others 2 days for first payment. Just wondering if anyone can confirm?
This is a Northern Ireland claim.
TIA
