    If you’re not transferring from DLA then money owed will be paid into your bank first. You should receive this 3-5 working days after payment was sent.
    You will then receive the decision letter sometime after this. In that letter it
    will have your award details, where you scored those points and what day of the week you will receive your 4 weekly payment.

    No not transferring from DLA just got told been awarded over a text so do they send this payment out as soon as you have been awarded?
