Hi,

I was awarded pip, 2 years ago. Since then I was due for a reassessment in December 2023, although they had extended this until December 2024. I had sent back all the evidence and I did not receive an assessment date. Then I received this message today: Your 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.

I then called the automated line and it stated I would be paid next at the end of April 2024. Would this mean I have been awarded this?.

    You can ring them to ask what the decision is, even though the text advised you not to. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Heya @mar_ere_89 and welcome. :)

    I can see poppy has already given you an answer, but I wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. :)
    As Poppy has said, the best thing you can do is give them a call or wait for the letter.

    Thank you. I did try yesterday after I received the text message and then I used the automated service that said the next payment was due at the end of the month. Although I have seen some comments saying that the automated line is not always correct.

    Unfortunately the automated line can be a bit glitchy @mar_ere_89 so I'd wait and see if you can get through to someone first thing on Monday.  I'll be keeping everything crossed for you!
