I have had my pip assessment call today. And within 30 mins I got a text message from dwp to say they have received my written report and should hear something in next 8 weeks. Is this a good or bad sign. I thought it would take longer for them to get the report.

TIA

    It happens sometimes that they return the report quickly, but it doesn't mean it is good or bad news. I hope you aren't waiting long for the outcome @andylfc71.

    The call took 1 & half hours. I was was a mess by the end of it. So to get a message in 30 mins just made me start to worry. Assessor said should gear in 8 weeks from now. Hopefully hear something positive soon. As its caused me much throughout the whole procedure.

    Received text message today, to say I've been awarded pip and only been 1 week since my assessment. Now have to wait for the letter. Started claim. mid Sept. So pretty quick and some pressure off now.
