PIP still no assessment.

[RibbonsandBells]

Please does anyone know what I can do. Don't feel like I can cope with the stress. I applied for PIP 8 months ago and still no assessment. Feel sick with fear about it and want to get it over with. I know there's delays with coronavirus but advice line told me not usually this long. They told me current wait about 2 or 3 months. I'm really struggling and relying on my adult dd too much. DWP being ok on the phone but assessment centre made me cry. Local CAB no appointments until end of month and not sure they'll help anyway as they usually just help with appeals. Do I just keep waiting? I don't know if there's anything I can do. So scared of the assessment and desperate to get it over.

Yes keep waiting and get your mp involved they can help with this

Can you ring them tomorrow and say, look, I've been waiting 8 months and this process is stressing me out and I can't cope any more?

When did you last speak to them and what did they say? Did you ask them what the hold up is and what sort of estimate they have on when this will be done? 8 months is ridiculous. My first claim took 8 weeks in non covid times so 8 months is just silly even with covid etc.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's stressful as heck.
