    It has been known for them to ring with the decision, especially if the PIP award entitles them to other benefits. I don’t see anything wrong here. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    @poppy123456. She didn't know they would call well we've never known anyone to confirm like that we thought it was always post that DWP would just post and its only because her best friend is a bit of a story teller so to speak. But thanks for the reply
