Hi Ben,
I am aware of people being contacted and others not! As with all things relating to DWP, if you haven't heard anything in a week or so time, I suggest you contact DWP and explain you have heard nothing. I am aware that there are a lot ot delays at present, but it won't hurt to remind DWP and get a new firm and or extension if need be.
In the meantime make sure that you obtain any medical reports if you can, or maybe a print out from the GP. If you are unsure about the effect of your disabilities, especially if there have been changes, you might wish to write a disability diary. What (PIP or other tasks) could you do, how, what did you struggle with, what was easy or easier? What help was needed, what couldn't you do, and why. Analyse how you did PIP tasks and what time you took.Were you safe? Did you create a mess or eg button up a shirt wrongly or not realise it was inside out etc. Are you in pain, fatigue, or out of breath etc? All these sorts of things may help you to recognise which descriptor matches your abilities or inabilities.
I hope this helps.

Hi Ben
If your review date is currently May 2023 - you would expect to hear from the DWP any time from May 22 - so there is no need to worry at this stage.
