Hi there I rang pip today and asked if a decision had been made she stated they have actually made a decision today but I've had no award text today I'm wondering if people get the text of award the same day as they make the decision or is it likely I have been rejected

    I had my phone assessment on the 2nd of January then a a text two weeks later that they have not made a decision yet then on the 16th of January had a letter stating they have all he information to make a decision then I rang them today and was told that they had Made a decision today but I'm not sure if you are awarded if you get the award text the same day or do people get that couple days later they wouldn't tell me the decision over the phone I seem to think I've been rejected as sounds like I'm just waiting for a letter as had no text or calls off them for back payment

    The text usually arrives the next morning after the decision. But not everybody gets a text when awarded.

    Okay thank you so much does it mean I haven't been awarded if I don't receive a text or how do you know if you've been awarded just wait for a letter was told you get a back payment before the letter do they call to tell you or just goes in by it's self I honestly don't think I'll get it but seen many things that people who haven't had the awards text have just received a letter and been rejected so worrying by not receiving a text as I have all way through it

    As I advised not everyone gets the text even if awarded.

    Sometimes yes the backpay arrives into your bank account before the decision letter.

    So do you reckon if I haven't had a back payment in 1 week or even a text it's more likely a rejection as I didn't have much evidence to send inn but they did ask my GP for my medical records I work but I have a life long illness called pppd it's a persistent dizzyness and I've got really bad anxiety and depression with it and I'm dizzy from morning till night every single day it's horrific I just seem to think they will say no as it's not about the illness it's self it's how it affects you daily which on the phone assessment I stresses it massively as it makes me suicidal and stuff because it's constant I'm not sure but I just seem to think it's a no this has given me sleepless nights and bad anxiety attacks all this process I applied on the 2nd of August last year been like 25 weeks of stress
