in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA

I had my new award extended, but then I received a text message giving me an appointment for my telephone assessment with the health assessment advisory team.
do I still need appointment. Both happen within two weeks

    Hey there @claire1234 and welcome to the community!

    When you say you've had your award extended, did you have an assessment and get an award letter through?

    Or has your original award been extended by a year maybe?

    Thanks for clarifying that @claire1234 .

    It may simply be a case of crossed wires. If you've already been assessed and you have your new PIP award, you shouldn't need another assessment. It'd be worth calling the DWP just to make sure everything's ok though.
