Have i got IB, or not?

Hi all, if anyone can help i would be v grateful!.
Right, I received a letter at the beginning of March form DWP regarding my Inc Ben, which i have been receieving for approx 8 years.
They asked me to send them details of how my illness affects me etc, and things have changed but i still scored approx 30 poiints when i did the PCA on line.
SO, They asked me to send it back by 30th march, which I did, sent it back 14th March.
My beneift was due last wednesday (28th) and i got it.
Does this mean they have given it me again? As i have not recieved anyhting from them yet, or does it mean that i would have got it anyway as my form didnt have to be back til the 30th anyway?
I am going to ring them soon anyway, but wondered if anyone had any idea?
If they aren't giving it to me anymore, what will happen?
I'm pretty stressed at the mo cos of this!
Thanks!!

It sounds as though they are continuing with it, but I would give them a ring to check.

Letters sometimes arrive days after they should.

They are very unlikely to have made a decision yet, it often takes months before people hear if they have been successful or if they have to go for a medical assessment. You could ring them but I doubt they will be able to tell you anything.

The last poster is right it can takes months before you hear back then you will receive a letter saying if it will continue or not.You will continue to get your money until they make a decision.Some people wait 6 months or so before they hear back for me it was 3 months .You could give them a ring and they will give you an idea how long people are waiting before they hear.take care

They wont have made a decision yet its too soon! I sent my IB50 in in the first week of November and only heard back at the beginning of March that they were calling me in for a medical and I had the medical and got the results after another week.

You will get a letter either way when they have made a decision
