Very fast review

I sent my review form off last week and got a text today saying my PIP review is complete.

that’s a very fast turn around isn’t it? I havnt had an assessment or anything.

Could the outcome be anything or likely kept my award?

I’m due to be payed on Friday but we have a motability van so I’m worried it won’t be paid for and will need to contact them to collect it or whatever.

    It sounds very positive.

    When PIP has enough written and medical evidence, they sometimes do something called a 'paper-based assessment', it is extremely rare for someone to receive this text message and not have their current award (or an increased one) continued. Keep an eye out in the post for a letter. If you want to ease your mind feel free to phone them for confirmation. 0800 121 4433 and press option 5 when prompted.

    @JB2023 as said you have had a paper based assessment, because you sent in enough information or the DWP had enough information that you did not require an assessment.

    Hi @JB2023

    It sounds like they made a decision based on your form alone which often happens when they have enough info. The outcome could be anything but if they stopped your award, then you’d usually get a letter and your payment would stop.

    If your Motability is affected, they’ll contact you separately🙂
