DWP not enough PIP Claimants?

I'm confused received a letter this morning from Atos stating that they are contacting persons identified as being involved in my care.

I filled in an application for PIP but never sent it back as i was advised by CAB not to due to awaiting an appeal hearing for DLA I should not apply for PIP.

Phoned atos who advised me to phone DWP as it might be to do with my ESA

Phoned DWP which was the PIP claim number she said they might just be carrying on anyway and to see what happens

Has this happened to anyone else?

Or do any any of you moderators have any ideas ?

Or do you think like me that in my area maybe they're looking for work as they haven't got enough claimants !!

thanks gordon as I was told by DWP that if I didn't send the form back in time that I would have to reapply I foolishly it seems assumed that they wouldn't proceed with the application.

I will have to try and fill the form in over the weekend as if I haven't enough to do sorting out the mistakes the CAB have made of the submission they did for my DLA Appeal which I have found out won't be heard till December, (mind u probably its a relief in a way that its not being heard sooner) I was told in August that i would get a date for hearing in November.

I'm wondering whether to submit another submission and tell them to ignore the one sent in by the CAB, never again will i ask the CAB to help as when i phone up they can never find any trace of the work they've done and takes weeks for them to find out the person dealing as their staff seem to be constantly changing, I had 3 people working on the DLA Appeal and still they couldn't get it right.

Sorry rant over having one of those days.

Thanks Gordon I'm assuming its live as I have had this letter from Atos I have to phone my GP everyday to see if they've been contacted apparently they can't tell me when they receive anything.

Should I ask to speak to a manager at the PIP as I spoke to someone on their switchboard I think as she couldn't tell me anything as to why I had received the letter from Atos

I still think I should try and fill this form in and I will try and phone them again on monday, I didn't tell the person I spoke to cancel the claim as I didn't know what to do originally I was told that I stood more chance of getting DLA than PIP and therefore not to proceed with PIP and with the person at DWP back in september telling me that if it wasn't sent back then I would have to reapply i assumed it would be cancelled.

Now I don't know what to do as hopefully my DLA hearing should be heard in December 2013.

Don't know whether to carry on with PIP it if it is still live or tell them to cancel it.

If my DLA Appeal failed then I was going to try and claim PIP as my circumstances have changed and i have more evidence that probably wouldn't have been taken into account when I claimed DLA
