    Thankyou

    pls can you reassure me

    payments will continue and it won't trigger a medical review

    if I do get a call security check from dwp it will be just a call to check bank ect ?

    @Tonight

    You say the automated line has given you your next payment date so it seems unlikely it will trigger a review of your sons claim because they are continuing make payments.

    You're not being silly @Tonight, anxiety can make things like this even more nerve wracking than they already are. It takes a lot to get through a benefits claim sometimes and it's understandable that you don't want to do that again. It's really unlikely they'd ask you for a review after something like this, so hopefully everything will stay the same.

    If you get any more scam texts you can report them by forwarding it to 7726. There are some instructions on how to do that here: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams/report-scam-text-message
