Rather confused with this text from the DWP... please help 🙏

Hello!  Sorry I did post yesterday but 

I have a phone  assessment on the 20th but I've just received this text this morning from the DWP: 

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.

Can anyone advise what this means? I'm very new to this and have dyslexia. Thankyou in advance

Are you sure the assessment was a full assessment? If it was then the text could have been sent in error. You can ring the assessment providers to ask if the report has been returned and they will tell you.

Hi! Thanks for replying, I haven't had an assessment yet, its booked in for the 20th Nov so I'm getting as prepared as possible but its thrown me off receiving this text this morning... could it be that they have enough information with what I've sent in? 🤔

My brother had the exact same situation, got that message and they called him two days before the appointment (no warning) and they did a 10 minutes chat with a few questions and they said the appointment would not be needed.

Not sure how appropriate this is, and truth be told, my brother was very panicked when he got the call. He got an award however.

Fingers crossed you will get the call.

It’s probably sent in error. If the assessment is cancelled you will be contacted so unless this happens it will continue as normal.
