Received text indicating not made descion

Bookworme123

Hi 
Hope you all doing well
I have received text saying they received my pip report on 8th December 2022

Today  22nd December 2022 I have received another text message that they have not made desision and they will write to me once they have decided

Has anyone received this text message? Previously when I applied for PIP never received text me saying that we have made descion and send you letter never got this text before

Finger crossed - they have rejected my pip multiple times so I'm hoping that they do make wise decision

I have crohs disease had two operations my health is getting worse I hope they don't discrimate based on my disability

Texts are fairly new but the one you received is a standard text sent to everyone that gives a mobile number.

You mention you've been rejected multiple times, have you ever challenged that decision? To constantly reapply is likely going to see constant refusals if you use the same evidence you previously used.

If successfully award they do usually send a text. Never heard of a text being sent with a refusal.

If you’re refused again I’d advise you to challenge that decision by first requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration rather than reapply again. Reapplying is never the answer.

Hi guys thanks for the reply I have requested report that was not send to me but letter which  says 'we  now have the information we need to make the decision' 

Also we now have the information we need to decide if we can award you PIP 

Furthermore it states I do not have to do anything  and they will write toe once they have made decision on your pip claim 

I just want to ask why on earth my report was not send but this letter was send do you guys think I will get or not in fact I'm quite worried 

I have provided new evidence the consultant has provided letter supporting my claims on how it effects me 

Thanks for you lot help

That's another standard letter they send everyone. With all the Royal Mail strikes there's a lot of delays with people receiving their post. I received 2 letters today that were dated middle of November.

Bookworme123

OK thanks how long do you think they will take to let me know if I can get it or not? 

Also if they can send this letter don't understand why they haven't send my report

A decision can be up to about 12 weeks once the report was returned to DWP but it could be longer because of Christmas closing days.

I can't answer the question of why you haven't received the report sorry.

Hi poppy notice you been replying often to others and helping others so thanks my report was received on 8th December and on 22nd letter saying they have all the evidence to make the decision 

Today 5th January I received text confirming I been awarded
I had dream that they was going to award me lol 

I am happy this time they didn't discrimate me based on my disability 

This website is great to communicate with others

Hi Hannah 
Thanks for your reply hope you doing well 

Crohs disease is worse condition some days I'm OK others days I'm not OK but I'm taking injections atm inflammation still pretty high but they said it better then in October 

How's your health at the moment? And do you get pip also you don't have stoma do you?

You see nobody understands our health because it invisible condition

Hi @Bookworme123

I just wanted to say that’s great news youv received today.
You will be able to relax a bit now, I’m so pleased for you.

Take care ❤️

Doing good thank you  

Sorry your inflammation markers are high, will keep my fingers crossed for your injections 🤞 Are you on biologics? 

I had my colon removed so the majority of the inflammation is gone, what's left is a lot more manageable. I applied for PIP and was denied but was accepted as Limited Capability To Work. I was only accept as that when I had my stoma! It is hard for invisible illnesses. I have always heard "but you look ok".

Thanks
Gosh you been through  lot like me tbh my health still terrible despite having two operations 
Apply for PIP again get letter from consultants that your health effecting you doing daily task and mobility
I was denied multiple times but after many attempts I was finally awarded never give hope darling  you are strong warrior keep fighting 😊❤️💐
they awarded me higher rate for mobility and other I scored 18 in total I believe 

I am surprised that I got accepted and that they giving me higher amount
