Missed phone call from DWP after PIP review form returned....?

DEBTMONKEY1A

Does anyone have any idea what this is likely to be for? They did say they'd call back at 11-30am but at that time mobile had no reception. 'No change' on all questions & supporting letter from GP confirming this...in fact confirming physical health worse due to short (17 day) hospital stay (all dates in hospital clearly shown on PIP review form).

Called back & the 'attachement won't show on my claim until it downloads overnight'....'but a letter has been sent today' (no ther notes on my claim). Anyone had a similar experience? PIP due to run out end of this year. My partner is worrying (she has mental health issues) re: budgeting etc. Any ideas?

Could have been from the decision maker. They sometimes call before making their decision. I had a call for my review before a decision was made. Hopefully it's in your favour. Did DWP say a decision has been made?

I think so....I can't exactly recall. Not 100% to be honest..

Ring them back tomorrow, if a decision has been made it'll show on the computer by then and they'll tell what it is.

Only speculation, But normally when DWP DM calls a claimant it's to ask if some more questions relating to the claimants health... And the "failed" outcome of the decision.

DWP i don't think ever calls anyone to say you have been put in a group or passed a medical, Since it would be a waste of time to call everyone who got a pass.

But all you can do is wait till tomorrow.

When i was called by the DM it was just confirm a question about my mobility. I answered the question and he said thank you, you'll recieve my decision in the next 7 days. My award went from Standard mobility to Enhanced.

Hi-I would 100% hope that as I have provided a GP latter confirming conditions as stated on original application are same & could get worse due to physical issues from my hospital stay that it would not be a negative decision?

This is from a review form which they explained is to speed up process if renewed-& is sent a year in advance as standard. It's been in payment a fair while so can't see there would be n issue? Also-I'm not sure it's the 'decision maker' who is calling me as there are no notes at all on my claim on their computer systems?

Like i said if you ring tomorrow the computer would have most probably been updated by then.

Hi-called & good news. Because of the GP letter PIP extended to late summer 2018 from Xmas 2017. Paid at same rate. Thanks all for replying as was a big worry. This does seem to support sending GP letter confirming no change with review form even if not specifically asked for.

Yes, the general rule is send all the evidence you can. Don't assume they will contact professionals themselves. They often don't.
