Welcome to the community @anton1888
It's great to have you on board!
This looks like good news. You should receive a decision letter in the post at some point soon, which will explain how much you've been awarded. The payment sometimes comes in before the decision letter, so keep an eye on your bank account.
Once you've got your decision letter, you can see whether you're happy with the level of award you've been given, and go from there.
Does that help?

Cheers Tori helps alot more advice the better with all this new txt stuff and hardly seen a human just phone calls and then boom txt out the blue saying we have awarded you that was enough to take months of battling off my shoulders. seen a few things were people were saying u wait months and others saying 3-5days . Didn't know what to believe.0

No problem @anton1888
Yes, a lot of it happens remotely now, and they started using texts relatively recently.
The 3-5 days is you've heard about may be in reference to how long the payment can take to come through once it's been sent.
Lots of people wait quite a long time to have their assessment, and then between around 2 to 12 weeks for the decision after that, so the whole process can take a while.
Waiting times can really vary, so it's difficult to give an exact time frame unfortunately.
How did you find the assessment?0 -
Cheers Tori does the last txt confirming that I have the reward mean that the payments will be made and made 3_5days from that txt . just a waiting game now to see how much the award is in the letter but a have been checking the bank for this lump sum I have heard a few forums saying keep checking your bank it comes before the letter so has me doing my Sherlock Holmes to see if any one had this same issue could help and help the next wave of new claimants see the txt get the information Iam getting and can sit at peace a bit easier. Assessment was good really took there time with not like in the past were a was shaking to answer anything face to face love this new way . I was on dla for years never switched to pip when it changed just sat on UC didn't want the hastle of going throw the assessment again if I know the system was different and had changed like this a would have opened up and got my self in the right benefits from the start .0

If you are transferring from DLA there will be no money owed, even if the PIP award is higher than the DLA award. Your first payment will be about 7 weeks after the PIP decision was made.0

New claim poppy not from DLA . Let the site know when it lands and how it worked out but still no news0
-
When it goes into your bank will depend when payment was sent but you should receive it sometime this week. The decision letter will arrive some after the money goes into your bank.
