Hu there 

They have probably crossed in the post or been recieved but not scanned onto the system 

Try calling today they do open on Saturday now

@janer1967 hi I did try phoning but alas it is closed till 9 am Monday morning and thanks for the input .

Have you been able to give them a call this morning @Swatteam?

Swatteam

OK UPDATE just been on the phone they said it is a generated letter that goes out to ppl when they haven't received a reply .They also said it was taking upto 4 weeks for them to scan everything so after phone call I got a text saying You have asked us to look at our recent pip decision again etc as a guide you should hear from us within 10 weeks.
Which is probably a generic text. But thank @woodbine and @Tori_Scope

Thanks for the update 

So I guess you have still got to wait before any payments are reinstated 

Swatteam

@janer1967 Looks like it except when they stopped last time done Mr then I appealed it won that got backdated payment. That made my pension credit go down but I never got a back payment when it was reduced ( I was a bit slow there). They don't care about us the knock on affect etc. 

Swatteam

Update I received a phone call from pip yesterday,they have reinstated my pip they recieved the forms on the 16th July. I sent mine 20th June.  So I will wait patiently. Pointless getting stressed at this stage.
