Hello, 
I was awarded PIP, ongoing period, in 2017. I suspected a review in 2026/17 but received a text message last night from Independent Assessment Centre sharing this is for information only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment... 

I have received no letter/form from DWP sharing my claim is up for review now? Just this one unexpected text message...any one else had this or can shed light?

    I'm afraid we can only guess why you've been sent that text. You'll need to ring them or DWP to ask. Even though you were awarded PIP for 10 years they can review you at anytime but i would have expected you to received a form first.

    That's quite strange!  Did you get through to PIP on the phone?  What did they say?

    Let us know how you get on @United1983, from my own experience it can be a long wait getting through to them. I hope yours goes quickly!
