Hi @islaodn - & welcome to the forum. I'm sorry it's taking a while to hear back about your PIP. The text you received is just a standard one saying there's no decision yet. Was this for a review?

islaodn

Hi no it’s for a new claim xx

If you've already had an assessment then once the report was returned a decision can take up to 12 weeks. Once a decision is made you will be contacted.

Very strange, usually if there's an award then any money owed is usually sent the same day the decision is made. Money is then received in your bank 3-5 working days later. Unless you owe DWP money then what they owe you can be sent to debt management to decide whether to use the money they owe you to pay what you owe them.

That’s what I mean I rang on the 24th and they told me I had been awarded them still nothing today do you think the lady got it wronf

This is a new claim so I can’t owe anything I’m really worried

I’m afraid I can only guess what’s happened. Though it has been known for the call centre to give incorrect information.

It can be any debt you may ow me DWP or HMRC. I didn’t mean a debt specifically from PIP. 

Once payment is made it does take 3-5 working days for money owed to go into your bank.

Hello @islaodn

Have you heard anything new on this? As Poppy said the call centre have been known to give incorrect information. It may be best to wait for any letters to arrive, which I know can be frustrating. I hope the community can continue to be a support for you  

islaodn

Hello yes I’ve rang this morning and been told it’s still waiting to be verified and no decision should have been told to me 

islaodn
