Pip rang me?

Hi. Thanks in advance for any replies. I applied for pip last year. Turned down after face to face. Turned down after mr. Lodged appeal and received emails and letter confirming it has been accepted. Anyway today I had a missed call from the pip helpline number saying “hello this is mark calling from the dwp in regards to your pip appeal, I will call back later” anyone had anything like this? I called back but they had t left notes on my file

Just over 12 months ago my PIP claim was refused. MR decision nothing changed. Lodged appeal with tribunal and this was accepted. Two weeks later I got a call from someone in the PIP reviewing department to say my claim has been looked at again and they had changed their decision. I was awarded Standard Rate for Daily Living and Mobility. They asked if I wanted to accept that decision or I could continue with the Tribunal if I wanted to go for the Enhanced rates. I accepted there decision and backpayment was received in about a week! This happened via a telephone call. Good luck, hope it is the same for you.
