It is unfortunately not uncommon for claimants to hear first via their council about their PIP claim than from the DWP, the council is informed electronically and is able to produce a letter far quicker than the couple of weeks that it appears to take the DWP.
Providing a Decision Letter has been produced you should be able to find out what the award is by ring the DWP office dealing with your claim, their number should be on the letter that you have just received.
