    You don't say which benefit this is related to. If it's PIP then once the report is returned to DWP the decision can take between 2-12 weeks. They are more likely to send a text if successfully awarded and it's a first time claim. If refused a decision by text is less likely.

    Welcome to the community @ray1234 :) 

    As poppy123456 has said, it can take a little while to find out what the decision is unfortunately. I hope that you're not left waiting for too long.

    How did you find your telephone assessment?
