Text confirming receipt of PIP

Hey everyone (again 😬),

I’ve seen a few people commenting here that they received a text to say that their PIP claim was successful. Is this a universal thing that everyone who is successful receives now, or are there still some people who are successful with their claim but don’t receive the text? 

The text/no text situation is just one more thing adding to my anxiety and as with my previous question I suppose I’m just looking for a little reassurance!

(I’m sorry for starting another discussion so soon after the last one, but I wasn’t sure how much traction a second question on my first thread would get.)

Thanks for any help you can give, you’re all  amazing!

    As far as I know @LittleWish not everyone receives a text, and this has no impact on their success with their PIP claim. 

    Does that makes sense? :)

    It seems as though texts of an award are more likely for those that are claiming for the first time, rather than reviews. I've not heard of anyone receiving a text if there's a refusal.

    Hey all, to not leave the thread open ended (I hate when that happens!) I received a significant (to me anyway!) back payment into my account this morning, but no text. I’ll update when my letter arrives.
