Pip waiting times

[Janemcconnell18]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how long PIP are taking to make a decision? Just had my assessment there on the 12 of October.

Really pleased for you, @Janemcconnell18

@ohthehorrorthehorror, thank you so much!! It really is, was the best wee pick me up today its been a hard year.

@AutumnCrow thank you 😊😊

@ohthehorrorthehorror i rang today and got my decision over the phone, decision was made on the 17th which was Friday so hopefully the back dated money will be in this week, but if not even being awarded it is a blessing.

Just received a text to say I have been awarded!! I never received any message to say my assessment had been received. Called up hrc and lrm. Very relieved. Good luck anyone else who’s waiting still.

@Jhunte amazing!!

@Janemcconnell18 congratulations wait is over for u x

@Bvbvbv thank you so much ☺️x

I’m very pleased
for posters who have received their awards.
im still waiting but can’t phone up as there is mast upgrading by o2 in my local area and it’s driving me potty.
Fingers crossed for those still waiting.

I think you’ve inadvertently created a lucky charm with this thread @Janemcconnell18 !

Within an hour of posting my last comment I got an email advising me of a telephone consultation booked for 6th December!

@HoofWankingSpangleCunt i hope I did we all deserve a bit of good news ❤️

Well done! My review is still in the ether.

Yay you go! I work in the same area.
Sadly a 6 month wait isn't unusual. Shocking, there was a petition went round recently about it.
Do MR and appeal. Don't let them fill it our for you, use someone like @morningstar15 or cab.
Google "simplified pip" for extra guidance if you have to do it yourself.
Sorry OP, I'd think 6 months and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

Ah amazing sorry hadn't seen this that's fantastic news op very happy for you x

Place marking for the advice.

Hi all x I’m literally right at the beginning I posted my forms off last night looks like I’ve got a very long time to wait

Jane that is amazing. I hope you got full amount. You will have the back payments in time for Xmas too. I am still waiting but will update once I hear. I got copy of assessment and assessor recommended 9 for care and 12 for mobility but still waiting for official notification and I'm getting worse. I think I should have got more points for cooking. I can barely move around kitchen or stand to cook but only given 1 point. I can't manage without DH to help me. He strains food for me, he brings me ingredients and equipment. I can't manage without him. I might do MR if only given 9 points. When DH had Covid and in bed for 3 days I had to order takeaway as could not manage on my own. It's depressing, I use a stool but still struggle.

Turn around times have been very quick in my area recently.

Fingers still crossed for those of us still waiting.

I know im
being unreasonable in asking this as I’m sure it varies around the country but does anyone have any likely idea on how long it takes after the assessment to get a decision ?

im hoping against hope that my PIP is re-awarded and then a lovely little sun will appear in my account before Christmas. I’m working on a combination of wishful thinking and visualisation of a positive outcome.

My telephone assessment is next Tuesday. My DSis advised me that her telephone assessment took 1 hour 40 minutes!

Sum not sun, obviously 🙄

@HoofWankingSpangleCunt, hiya I first put my claim in the 8th of August had my telephone assessment on the 12th of October and got my decision on the 17th of November, roughly 5 weeks for a decision from I did my assessment. It can vary for everyone but if you havwnt had your telephone assessment yet I don't think you will hear back before Xmas if your telephone assessment is next week😭 but you never know sometimes they can be fast it just depends on the decision maker you have and how fast they are at going through the report from the assessment. After you have your assessment give it a few weeks and ring for na update. I hope you get the outcome you deserve. It can be very stressful all the waiting about x

If it helps my telephone assessment was exactly two weeks and one day before I was texted with a decision

I got a text today today I have been awarded PIP. Says I will get letter within 2 weeks explaining decision. Not sure what level has been awarded but I think I will get it backdated from August and paid in time for Xmas.

You will this happened to me last week when they told me I got it, it was around 5 days after then the back dated money was in my bank. Nice wee lift for Xmas

Could I ask how long from posting ur claim form to having a text to say they had received it did it take as I only posted mine late Monday night x
