I had a phonecall from a DWP DM yesterday and I'm a little perplexed. The DM asked if I could confirm my name and the name of the Bank that my claim is paid in to; then asked the name or practice name for my Dr; then asked how long my two hospital stays were last year. They then said 'thank you I'll make a decision on your claim today and it will be sent out to you 2nd class so you should have it next week'. I really don't understand how the questions or answers could have any bearing or relevance to my claim. Has anyone else received one of these calls?

Hi Rob
I have heard of a couple of people having this type of call, generally because the DWP is about to pay them a large sum of money or just to clarify up-to-date bank details. Not saying that is about to happen to you - just using it as an example of a legitimate call.

Hi Rob,
I had a very similar phone call from DWP last week. They did the security questions then asked if I had had any stays in hospital (I think this affects your PIP if your stay is more than 28 days). They then said I would be getting a payment into my bank account but couldn’t tell me how much etc, but did confirm I would get a letter in the next two weeks saying I had been awarded PIP. Two days later I also got a text message to say I have been awarded PIP but I still don’t know what level or anything. Hopefully it is good news for you! Let us know if you hear more.
Regards,
