Hi XF,
Any of the above really.
Some members have been contacted by phone to inform them of a decision, however beware of misinformation :
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?view=top...id=10&id=96660#97770 Some members have reported that they have simply received a phonecall from an 0845 number telling them that The DM has made a decision and it is in the post. (without any further detail)
It is quite common for ATOS to ring up a few times to try and make an appointment, before sending a written appointment out, if they can not speak to the claimant. (not sure what number they use though)
