Pip, cost of living payment?

Good morning all. I started my claim via the telephone number on the 1st of march. I the had my telephone assessment yesterday with IAS and was a long 1hr 45min call. The assessor was extremely patient and helpful and was put at ease straight away. I then received a text from DWP this morning saying that they have received the pip assessment and would write to me within 8 weeks. 
My question is would I be eligible for the extra cost of living payment as a pip claimant (should it be awarded) or would my claim be later than the qualifying period before? If that makes sense. 
I have looked online but was not able to see anything that was helpful.
