    Sometimes they do ring to ask questions out of the blue like this. Can't tell you why your PIP has stopped, you will need to ring them on Monday morning when they open and they will be able to tell you why.

    Hello @hcl and welcome to the community :) 

    I'm happy to see you join us, hopefully you enjoy taking part in the community and find it to be a positive outlet :) 

    I can understand your worry, it's not as common to receive calls on a weekend so I would have probably even been dubious myself. And of course, we can't know for sure if there is a link between that call and your PIP suddenly stopping, although if it indeed was DWP there may well be. 

    Will you be calling on Monday morning to ask about your PIP?

    I have included below a few pages on the community that I'd recommend having a lok through in order to familiarise yourself with the site:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
