Hi, my name is stewcold82! "we have not made a decision yet " text

stewcold82

Hiya I've been reading this forum for a few days as I'm awaiting a pip decision and was hoping for advice , I received the "we have not made a decision yet " text , and going by the threads on here , it seemed this text is followed by a pip award text 2 days later , I received this text last Thursday 05/01/23, but nothing more , I rang pip today and they said they have a 3 week deadline for assessments to decisions , and this is up today , has anyone had similar problems ?? Or got that text the same day , and maybe been awarded??

Please remember that when you ring PIP you're speaking to someone from a call centre. I've never heard of DWP having a 3 week deadline. The timescales once the assessment report is returned is anything up to about 12 weeks.

Some members here have indeed had a decision within a couple of days of that text but some members have waited a few weeks. It doesn't mean anything other than what the tex suggests. It's impossible to predict anything at this stage. Once a decision is made you'll be contacted.

That's not correct. We've had members here that have received that standard text and gone onto not be awarded. You simply can't speculate anything from that standard text.

@stewcold82 have you heard anything yet?:)

The text stating that I had been awarded PIP arrived 11 days after the “we have not made a decision text”.
I am aware that the time scales are different for everyone.
It’s not easy waiting.
Good luck 
also the award text arrived around 8am
