New to this site 
I currently receive highest rate pip and esa support group just had pip review tx after 8 months no assessment just text saying review complete letter in two weeks I called automated line they told me correct date of next payment and new rate rise amount due on 7 may does this mean it’s been awarded ? The stress is rediculous waiting on a letter as my carer package needs paying in a few days time 
am I being optimistic that it wouldn’t of given me date for payment if award not granted !!

Looks like you've been awarded if they are paying you and a new amount. Letter shouldn't take too long to follow. Also welcome to the forum.

Heya @percyboy and welcome to the community. 

I'm always wary of what the automated lines say, but that does sound positive! I'd hold out until you get that letter. I totally understand the stress levels though, I hope it arrives soon.

@percyboy hi congratulations on the award, do you mind me asking how you got through to the automated bit? I ring 0800 121 4433 but just seem to be getting a human

It used to be option 6 on the number you rang above but that was removed. As I advised on your other thread, when you ring that number while you're waiting to speak to someone sometimes it will give information on your next payment. Though, as I advised on your thread you shouldn't rely on it because it's known to give incorrect information.
