PIP Review form with the Case Manager

Hi,
I sent back my PIP review form in December 2019. I thought I'd get an acknowledgement that they had it and that it will take x amount of weeks.
But up until now have heard nothing. So today I rang to get an update.
I was told that it is with the Case Manager.
Does anyone know at what stage this is? I thought that the Case Manager was the one that makes the decision? But can anyone confirm please?
Many thanks

I get extremely nervous on the phone due to my anxiety. I will try to ring again on Monday and ask that question. At least then I will know one way or the other if it will be paper based on a face to face interview coming up.
I thought a Case Manager could make a decision if there was enough evidence? But didn't realise that it still has to go off to get an assessment report.
I sent a lot of evidence, reports from 4 of my consultants and a recent letter from my nuerosurgeon. Also confirmation that my nuero condition is progressing and can not improve.
I am hoping it will be paper based.

Yes I called back. My anxiety was quite bad...
I managed to ask if there was an assessment report. To which they said 'Have you had an assessment?' To which I replied 'no'. She said 'well you'll have to wait until they contact you.'
End of conversation.
I was too anxious to ask anymore. But it looks like I will have to wait for the assessors to contact me?
I did wonder why it was with a Case Manager though as my initial call confirmed.
Does it always initially go to a case manager first?

Thank you. I still haven't heard anything at all.
