Hi CamJ,
This has never happened to me before, but it could be down to Royal Mail, or DWP forgetting to send a letter out. I would also try verify the text number to see if it's not a scam trying to obtain your details. These scams seem to be all over the place lately. I was scammed 3 times last year, and every time they managed to get money from me, and I'm pretty computer savvy!
Chris.
