Hello all, hope your all doing good.
Little question if you don't mind.

I was rewarded pip this week by txt which is fine but says in the txt the award notice will take 2 weeks to come, Royal mail is due to go on strike so this letter will take even longer so my question is can you phone up or find out this information before the letter comes from somewhere?

    Yes you can phone up and ask, I did on my first p.i.p and they told me over the phone what I had been awarded :)

    I seems like this was a new claim for daisygirl. I'm not aware of DWP sending texts for successful reviews.
