    Hi and welcome

    You should ring the DWP to make sure that they have received a copy of the tribunal decision.
    The DWP normally put an award into payment 5-8 weeks following the decision
    They may ask the tribunal for a statement of reason which could add to the delay. If they do this then they are looking for an error in law on which to challenge the decision

    Hi ljuk75,

    There are 10 daily living activities that you can score points on - briefly they are cooking, eating, taking medication, washing and bathing, toileting, dressing and undressing, communicating, reading, engaging with people and budgeting - they are all daily activities that we all need to do.
    Separately, there are 2 mobility activities that you can score points on - planning and following journeys and moving around. 
    It sounds like you scored 7 on daily living therefore you are not awarded that component as you needed to score 8 or more. If you have been awarded the enhanced rate for mobility then you have scored 12 or more.
    You could get both components, just the one or just the other depending on the points scored. They don't depend on the other. 
    You don't have to do anything at this point if you are happy with the decision. The tribunals service will send the same copy of the decision that you've had to the DWP, and unless they decide to appeal they should pay you within 6 weeks.
