Hi peanut and welcome
Well done
You should give it a couple of days then ring DWP to make sure they have a copy of the decision
The DWP can only challenge the decision on an error of law, not just because they disagree
They may ask for a statement of reason from the judge but seldom do they actually challenge the decision
Usually they take 5-8 weeks to put an award into payment
CR

peanut01,
CR has given excellent advice. DWP do sometimes appeal, but if they are going to they first have to ask for a statement of reasons. Sometimes they do this and then take a while to decide whether to appeal further, but time limits apply and so they would still have to pay you eventually unless they actually requested permission to appeal.
The Tribunal Service will let you know if the DWP do ask for a statement of reasons, though of course you can also ring DWP about this. They'll also let you know if the DWP ask for permission to appeal.
There's a one month time limit for the DWP to ask for the statement of reasons, and then once they have it, a one month time limit from the date they were sent it for them to apply for permission to appeal. So as CR says, you're hopefully looking at a maximum of 8 weeks, unless they do decide to appeal, which isn't common and can only happen if there is an error of law.
Hope that helps. Once you know your PIP is in payment let other parts of DWP and the local authority know (if you get housing benefit or CTR), to make sure all your other benefits reflect your PIP award - it can mean other benefits are higher.
