Hi,
Received this text (below) after my review being delayed for about a year.
Does this mean PIP have looked at my claim and it's been passed on for an assessment or are IAS the people who look at all claims whether you need an assessment or not now?
Also, how long after receiving the text, how long did it take for you to next hear from them please?

Most people have assessments, which can either be by telephone, video call or face to face at an assessment centre.If an assessment is needed you will be contacted.
