    Hi,

    To be honest, i've never heard of them making a decision that quickly for the SDP. Usually it's a few weeks at least and i've never heard of them ringing anyone with the decision before. As it's DWP, i suppose anything is possible. Don't be surprised if you don't receive a call in 3 days.. or 3 working days because 3 days would take it to Saturday and DWP don't work Saturdays.
