Unexpected phone call from PIP

Someone from PIP phoned me at 6.15pm last night to say that the DWP had received my renewal form and I would probably be given the same award (I sent lots of evidence) but he needed to go through my case and phone me back tomorrow (today).

I am still waiting on the call... 

Is this standard practice?

    No, it's not standard practice. Sometimes they do call to ask questions but it's rare for them to do this.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Thank you for your reply @poppy123456. I phoned the DWP the following Monday. I was awarded the Enhanced rate for both for 10 years.
