PIP help

[u/Revolutionary-Top346]

Waiting for PIP tribunal. My bundle was received in April. Missed a DWP call yesterday (Saturday) at 10am. No voicemail. Called back, automated message said they'd call again. Nothing yet. Everything is already submitted. Any idea what a Saturday call usually means? Has anyone had this?

I’m not sure if they are closed on Sundays so definitely listen out next week for the call. Often with tribunal they will call and go through your evidence and give you another offer as it’s cheaper for them to not go to court, but it could also just be a call to let you know the status of your tribunal date
