txt message from DWP

I have had a txt message from dwp saying I no longer need to submit medical evidence is this a genuine txt from them .
I am currently on SDA and have been sending docters notes every 3mths for about 2yrs , so I presume if its right I no longer have to send them . I have not heard anything about being transfered to ESA
like most people .
Thanks

    It is at least plausible.
    Unfortunately, phoning them up, or contacting them in some other way is the only way of confirming.

    We had a text message to tell us our child had been awarded dla before it had it by any other means, so it does seem to be a way they are communicating these days. We were also told there was no need to contact them.

    Text messages are pretty standard for benefit awards these days
