There's a lot of discussion on the pip text that people got the "We have not yet made a decision on your PIP claim. We will write to you when we have made a decision. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change" 
People all comment on saying they got their following reward texts a few days/week later. But...
Has anyone ever got a refusal text or do you just get the refusal letter? No one mentions this?

    They do not send refusal texts. Texts are only sent if there's an award but they don't always send that text. Not everyone gets the award texts a few days after the "we have not yet made a decision text" we've had members here that have waiting quite a few weeks after that text and still been awarded.

    You can't speculate anything at this point.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
