Hi my name is Karen I applied for a renewal of my pip in may and about six weeks ago received a text from the assessment company who deal with the pip assessments. Then three weeks ago received another text from the dwp saying they had received my report and would be in touch with a decision. Today I received a call from the dwp which I missed asking me to ring them back as it was late I will have to wait till tomorrow. Can anyone please tell me why the dwp is ringing me about pip claim ? I have not had an assessment yet. Thanks.

Hi @karen57 - from what you've said it sounds like a decision may have been made on paper without the need for an assessment, as you say you received a ''text from the dwp saying they had received my report and would be in touch with a decision.''
Sometimes you may get a call, usually lasting a short time, to ask a few questions before a decision is made. This is possible, but, as you say, you'll have to ring back to find out what it's about.

that’s a paper based decision ? Not sure if that is good or bad but thanks0

Paper based decisions are usually favourable, but not always. An assessment isn't always needed, so hopefully a decision maker just wants to ask a few more questions to clarify things.

Hi @karen57, as Chiarieds says sometimes they make a paper-based decision. Hopefully you get another call or letter soon with some good news
Let us know how it goes!
Edit: I've also moved this to the PIP category incase you need further advice on PIP.0
