Hi Kim

I absolutely would be phoning the PIP enquiry line asap - as you want to know whether your money will stop in mid-June as you still don't have an assessment date.

Hi Kim

Read an article today which will answer the reason why you got cut off.

DWP Minister Laura Trott has confirmed that more than two million calls to the DWP's Future Pensions Centre helpline were blocked from entering the call waiting queue between January and May 2023.
