Hi apologies new here I think I posted this is the wrong section so reposting !! 

Hi 

New here , I have tried to find the answer from google search and the forums but couldn’t quite get an answer 

I applied for PIP back in early April , I had the standard text messages and emails stating that they had my application 

i then had confirmation that my PIP telephone assessment will be in early June but then today I had a text off the DWP stating We've received the written report of your PIP assessment. We will write to you once we've made a decision on your PIP. As a guide you should hear from us within 8 weeks. You don't need to contact us unless any of the details you gave us have changed. Thank you.

Does this mean they are no longer doing the telephone based assessment and just going off my original application and supporting evidence 

apologies if this has been answered before I did try to search before posting

    Seems like a paper based assessment has been achieved. They still do telephone assessments but if there’s enough of information to write the report they will do that.

    I might give them a call to see if the telephone assessment is going ahead then just to get some clarification?

    Yes you can do that but you should ring the health assessment providers and not PIP.
