Hello, have you read the 'My DAAD Scholarship/Ihr DAAD Stipendium' document? There, along with the explanation on the Award Letter stated that your Award Letter indeed will become active only if you got admitted to the first Uni (in your case I assume TU Berlin) and submit the Zulassungbescheid (enrollment letter) to the Portal. However, since you have 2nd and 3rd options, if you got admitted to the 2nd or 3rd options instead of the 1st, you need to notify them, so they will shange the Uni on the award letter into the one that admits you.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers.

I think the only 'real' sign that you are awarded is by receiving a message in your Portal along with an Award Letter attached.
However, 'Funding' status is a super strong sign
Now you need to wait for a while, or if you are curious, you can ask the DAAD officer using 'Messages' function in your portal.

In addition to Declaration of Acceptance, you need to also send the 'Consent of Processing Medical Data' document, in order to be signed with Die Continentale, the insurance provided by DAAD.
Since you don't want to be insured with this, I suppose you need to ask them (using Messages) whether you are allowed to be exempt from the insurance or not. As far as I know, if you are above 30 and/or doing you PhD, your only option is with private insurance, like one provided by DAAD. But, I think the DAAD officer knows best

In my case, Reference Number is stated on your Award Letter, which will be sent to you via your Portal.

Your Award Letter should not be too far behind, at least that was my case. I got an enrollment notice from another German Lesson before I got the Award Letter. The Award Letter was sent the next day after the German Lesson Enrollment Letter.
I am from SEA region.

Indonesia, so I guess, final decision for other country in Asia Pacific region should not be far behind.

It will be a 2-months online intensive course, from August to September.

Same here, my status has just changed to Funding with no e-mail. Hopefully, the e-mail especially the Award Letter will come as soon as possible.
Congratulations for you!

In my case, i had interview on February and even now, the 'official' result is not out yet.
However, it is also depends on your location and type of scholarship.
Quoting other members here, 'no news is a good news' because every update on your application (funding/rejection) will be pushed to your e-mail so that you will be updated.
Best luck!

Same goes for me, it gone blank a couple hours ago. However, i noticed that on the left side, there are new choice called 'Options'. Strangely, before it gone blank, I got a confirmation e-mail from a Language Course that said I have been enrolled to the course. I went straight to confirm this to the DAAD officer in my country (Indonesia) and she said that I got the scholarship. I haven't got the Award Letter yet so I don't want to jump from my bed until then. 
So, gone blank is indeed a good sign, fingers crosses for you!!!

Hello, Indonesian PhD applicant here.
My funding date has also been changed, similar to yours, from 31.09.2024 to 31.09.2022, where, according to the old threads here and my colleague who got DAAD PhD scholarship back in 2013, a good sign (they give the contract yearly, thus the funding duration is usually a year and prolonged subsequently). Nonetheless, let's keep our fingers crossed. :)
Aaand, with respect to last year's situation, it was worse (according to another colleague of mine who got the scholarship). She got a call confirming her funding in late May and she finally got her Letter of Award in July from the Portal. So, I guess, with result from another region were already announced (East Africa, Turkey, Mexico and Balkan), we can hope that our result, at least for PhD applicants in Asia-Pacific, will not be too far behind :)
Ah yeah, as an additional info, my Portal has stayed as 'Selection Made' for the whole March after I went to the interview on mid-February, where the DAAD officer there said that the result should be out on the end of March or early April. I guess Osternferien from 29 March to 5 April complicate things a bit. However, let's keep the energy high and I wish everybody here good luck!
