Hi @alex77 - & welcome to the community. Unfortunately these texts do cause an awful lot of needless anxiety; they're just standard texts, which a lot of our members have received. It's just letting you know that they will be making a decision, tho this can be anywhere up to 12 weeks following an assessment, if you needed one.

Thank you I had my assessment over the phone before Christmas so just hoping and praying for a decision

Hello @alex77, welcome to the community. As chiarieds mentioned, they do tend to send these texts out as standard. Causes all sorts of worry, it's a horrible process to go through sometimes! But I hope you're not waiting too much longer. We are always here if you need support or have any questions. 

I'll pop your post over to our PIP section just in case you need anything
