Hi @mickymoo
Good Evening & Welcome to our Community/Family.
I am one of the Community Champion’s here at Scope.
I have got a good friend who will be able to help you with your question.
Hi @Adrian_Scope
Can you please offer me some help with this new post?????

Thank you steve510

Hi @mickymoo. Unfortunately it's not unusual to wait quite some time for a Work Capability Assessment from UC. If you are awarded you wouldn't receive your first LCWRA payment until three full assessment periods after your first fit note was handed in.
I hope you hear from them soon.1 -

Thank you for your reply
Had a funny phone call this morning from DWP pip decision maker asking name of bank and my middle name also age at next birthday????0 -
Did they say why they were calling @mickymoo? It's not unusual to be asked to verify details but it does seem strange for them to only want those details.0

@Adrian_Scope
Said she would be making a decision today and would have a letter in 7 to 10 days ???? Does this mean I have got an award or not0 -
Hi Sorry it doesn't necessarily mean you have been given an award but with asking for bank details this could be possible.
You wont have long to wait if a decision is being made today
As for your work capability outcome hopefully you will hear soon but they do seem to take quite a while in current situation

It's impossible to know if you have an award from that I'm afraid @mickymoo. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for a decision letter to be uploaded to your UC journal. Let us know when you hear!
Edit: I just realised this was for your PIP decision wasn't it? Sorry @mickymoo. Obviously your PIP decision won't be uploaded to your UC journal.1 -
Thank you @Adrian_Scope1
