Decision on PIP review

Had a text message yesterday to say that my PIP review decision had been made and to wait 2 weeks for my letter to come through. It doesn’t mention needing any further information or attending for an assessment - does this mean it’s all straightforward and my award has been made without the need for an assessment? Is there any way I can find out the result of this decision before receiving my letter?

    I had to have my review form back to them by 4th April 2026. Had a text yesterday to say that a decision had been made. I don’t know which way to think - do I need an assessment or don’t I? I have been on PIP since having an RTA in May 2012. I am hoping and praying that with all these changes taking place that I don’t lose it…!!

    Hi welcome to the forum.

    It sounds like you had a paper based assessment and as the text message advised you, you will receive a decision letter in two weeks.

    It doesn't necessarily mean an award will be made, but the letter will let you know the outcome of your assessment either way.

    thank you for your reply. I have been on PIP since 2012 and this was a review. I will just have to wait to receive my letter and see what the outcome is. Hoping all is fine.

    Hi

    I sent my hubby's review forms back in Jan 25 and we've just had the letter stating he's on enhanced for both for a ongoing award we were in total shock, his was also paper based. When we had the text I contacted the automated pip line and it told us when and what is next payment was, so we new it was granted again. Good luck 🤞

    Hope you get the right outcome loubyloo, as Snuggles65 suggests, if you phone the PIP enquiry line, one of the automated options leads you to a recording that tells you what and when your next payment will be, so you might be able to work it out from that. Good luck!

    Hi @loubylou_1971

    It sounds like you had a paper based assessment so hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer for the answer😊
