Is it true that a text is sent when you have been awarded/refused pip?

    My partner received a text to say he was awarded his standard mobility and it also said he will get a payment within two weeks.

    Hi,ive recieved texts to tell me imformation has been received

    But never to say PIP has been awarded or refused,,, think it

    really depends where you are,, may be the DWP but all areas

    Hi honey dip.

    I don't know about txt. I just had letter. But I assume you'd probably get a txt if you requested one. Did you ask by any chance? If not they probably assume you don't want to be notified by phone. Txt fraud etc.

    Hi there

    I got a text (didn't ask for one as registerd severly sight impaired "blind"wink

    Then a lettter only to say they had the relavent information ...then another with award and dates ect

    Please be aware if you are switching from DLA to PIP they will take money from.you with no explanation ....i switched and from DLA HIGH MOB MID CARE , TO PIP enhanced for both , and they took £112 from last DLA payment (13th september) then a further £30 from 1st PIP Payment

    Despite no gap in payments as PIP took over on the 14th september .....i get first PIP payment on 11th oct minus an additional £30!

    Just thought ide mention it

    Did call them but they said it was correct and i was imagining it / didnt understand .....i said i understood perfectly ....that dick tuprpin had the decency to wear a mask!!

    Hi

    I'm waiting to hear from pip after sending My form in.

    I asked about the text. His reply was " not everyone gets a text , I'm not sure why some get them and some don't. I think they are sent from the case managers. So it depends who looks at your case"

    I hope this helps.
