PIP text

sunshine41

Hi all,

Today I received a text saying "a health professional is looking at your PIP claim. They will contact you with an appointment if they need to. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change."

Is this just a standard text they send, or does it mean I will receive an appointment soon?

Thank you.

It's a standard text. Some members are still waiting several months after this.

Thank you very much Poppy

I just realised from a previous thread that this is a new claim. I assumed it was a review of an existing claim. This means that for you then you could hear from them quicker than several months. New claims are taking considerably less time than reviews.

Yes Poppy it is a new claim. Thank you for letting me know. I shall keep prepared.

I received the same text on the 15th Sept, have you heard anything since?

Hi @EIMH sorry for the late response. Yes I received a text last week saying my appointment is next Tuesday.
