I have received a text from the DWP saying I have been awarded PIP

I'm so relieved thank you to the community for giving advice:).

 As the title says is there any way I can find out my award before the award letter comes in 2 weeks? Thanks 😊

Hello @H4rr13t

Thanks for your post, and well done on the news, I bet you are relieved about that Hopefully the letter arrives sooner than two weeks, but you may be able to find out your award by giving PIP a call.

That's great news to hear @H4rr13t what a great start to your week.

H4rr13t

@Ross_Scope Thank you I appreciate it! Yeah I may give them a call if I can get muster up the courage to do it 😅,  thanks again

Thats fantastic news! I had my asessment on 10th but still had no news, its so hard waiting isnt it i hate any uncertainty, i only got a message to say they had recieved my report on 27th, was being reviewed or something for over 2 weeks. First time applying for me and it deffo causes added anxiety 

H4rr13t

@jessica141 it is rather anxiety inducing, I had my assesment on the 13th of May, had a text on the 16th to say they had the report  and didn't get a result bac until 30th so fingers crossed you will get your outcome soon! I agree it's  very anxiety inducing, I wasnt expecting a text to say I had been awarded I thought it would just be a letter. Keep me updated, good luck!

Isn't it funny how some people get text's - i was surprised when my letter came so quick that was the 1st i knew about my results.

jessica141

I will do 😊 there was a task on the computer to send the report put when they finally received it but i doubt theyve sent it, just my luck it wont come! Fingers crossed tho...i will keep you updated 😊

Thanks Sue. It is a success story thank you, my mum filled the forms in. It was checked by my social worker and has taken about 16 weeks so far but last year when I tried to do it on my own I only scored 8 points but I was so stressed that I didn't have the mental stamina to go to court. I went to Court for DWP Universal Credit ESA now called Work Related Group or something. Again my mum came, I was very nervous because the crown court had walls like a prison. Anyway the Judge was really understanding, the doctor was a bit vague and she awarded me two years where Universal Credit are not allowed to sanction me for social anxiety. So now I voluntary go to the UC office to try to find a suitable job. Unfortunately while all this was happening I broke my leg but it's getting better now. I think once you've been through the system a few times it's still scary but you build up ways to cope and face them head on. Keep appealing all the way.
