Hi, i think you need to phone them up as not sure anyone on here can answer that.

Tell them when you phone what happen about the report that should then put your mind at rest

Hi, thats good news, sometimes when you are down, you get picked up and not kicked down.

Christmas should be better for you now with that off your mind

I could no longer work after finding out my cancer was incurable, so I sent in the forms and was awarded PIP at the highest levels in both levels.

I was always against PIP, but I've paid a lot in so why not?

It's not good or bad, it just means you didn't need to attend the assessment. Ring DWP to ask for a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the report.

It will be all of your back dated money. Then it will be every 4 weeks. Your award letter will have all the payment details and amounts.
