Text from DWP saying review done?

KimFisher01

I had my renewal assessment 3 weeks ago, on the same day I received a text to say that the assessor had sent DWP the report. On Friday 3 weeks later -  I received the following text from DWP: 

You PIP review is complete. You should receive your decision letter in 2 weeks. Once you receive your letter, contact us if you have any questions. Do not call before you get the letter as we will not be able to tell you the decision. Please remember to contact us if your circumstances change. 

Has anyone else had this text? I’ve didn’t receive this kind of text on my first claim so a little worried it means I’m going to be rejected this time round? 

What’s the chances of success again? 

The wait is awful and I am getting so anxious and worried about it!

The text you received saying your review is completed is normal and not an indication of what the decision is, it means exactly what it says. Those texts are fairly new so i wouldn't have expected you to receive one prior to this review.

Although it says not to ring them, you can ring them anytime to ask them what the decision is.

That is great, thank you so much, very much appreciated. I will call them tomorrow to ask for an update and see what that say! Wish me luck!

Welcome to our community @KimFisher01! As Poppy says the texts are fairly newish but quite standard! Honestly, I've really liked them as I can often have things not come to mind (ADHD can problematic sometimes!). Hope for the best news!

If the news IS NOT good we are here to help you! There's appeals to go through don't forget. I can't say the chances of PIP reviews, as they are so variable, but we know the success rate of MRs (dealt with by DWP) is a rather low <20% but tribunal appeals (dealt with by independent court) has a success rate of ~70%.

Also just going to move this thread into our PIP category, incase you do have further questions/need further PIP support

I couldn’t agree more - good luck to your wife!
