    If you received a text telling you that you've been awarded then it's very unlikely to be incorrect. If they owe you any money then you should receive that in your bank 3-5 working days after payment was sent. You will then receive the decision letter after that.

    If you want to know what you've been awarded and when to expect the money into your bank you can ring PIP to ask and they will tell you.
