Texts received from PIP

Hello,

I received a text from DWP saying "thanks for sending your 'how your disability effects you form...." this morning at 8am. 

At 6 this evening I got the following:

Hello from Independent Assessment Services. We conduct Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions DWP. This is for information purposes only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment. We will look at the available evidence and will contact you with an appointment if we need to have a consultation with you. You can find information about the service we provide at https://www.mypipassessment.co.uk You do not need to contact us.

Am assuming this is the company doing the assessment? I did not want to click it in case it was not legitimate.

Hope somebody could confirm this please?

I know it can vary but does anyone have a rough idea when they let you know of the next step?

Thank you.

The site is genuine.

They took about 2 months from that text to the next one for me, but everywhere in the country is different I believe!

Some people wait 2 weeks, some over a year.
