Hi Has anyone received the following text ? I sent my pip off back in September and received the following text today. I’m now sick with worry I’m going to get penalised
Hello from Health Assessment Advisory Service. We conduct Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions DWP. This is for information purposes only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment. We will look at the available evidence and will contact you with an appointment if we need to have a consultation with you. You can find information about the service we provide at www.haas.maximusuk.co.uk. You do not need to contact us.
This is one of the standard texts that are sent out. You are not being penalised. They inform you that they have your form and are deciding what type of assessment you will have. This could be paper-based, telephone, video or face-to face. They will let you know.
So I know you will be worrying about what happens next, but try not to. You are certainly not being pernalised.
