Pip advice please

Hi all just looking for some advice please , I was advised to apply for pip due to my mental health , so I rang and requested the forms and I recieved them but never filled them out and sent them back because I just cant find the motivation or the effort to go through them and do it. So I left it . But I recieved a message on Friday from pip asessment services saying they will look at the evidence and will contact me with a appointment if they need to have a consultation with me , even though I never sent the forms back so I'm confused. I also have a bad back but have nothing diagnosed , but i take regular naproxen for the pain when it's bad . Is it worth mentioning that even though nothing is diagnosed.

Pip advice please

Are there any links in the text message? I'm not sure it's a genuine one, it might be a scam, the DWP would have no reason to contact you if you haven't sent back the form.
You can mention your back pain if you apply. Tell them what impact it has on you, e.g if you sometimes find it difficult to walk, get dressed etc because of the pain tell them how often that happens.

If you don't return the form they automatically refer you for an assessment as a customer requiring additional support.

The website quoted belongs to one of the assessment providers.
