Hi can yous please share your experience when it’s come to PIP claim. 

I applied for PIP 27/06/22
I had my telephone appointment 9/9/22
I then received a text the same day to say that they had received the written report and I would hear back within 8 weeks. 

Then I received another text on the 26/9/22 saying they have not yet made a decision and that they will write to me when they have, has anyone else had this text and how long after did you receive your decision and was this via text also. Thanks

It’s a standard text and there is no fixed period between the text and the decision being made. A decision will come by letter. If an award is made you will likely receive a payment before the letter. You may get a text saying a decision has been made but it will not say what the decision is.
