PIP - Any advice?

[pollypocke]

Hello,

I was awarded PIP when I was 15, and continued to recieve it until Jan 2023 where they decided I didn't score enough points - even though my condition is ongoing and doesn't change.
I used the help of Dial to reapply in Jan/Feb after a 2 month stay in hospital as my condition took a very dark turn.
I had a text to say they received the forms on 14th Feb, then another text to say someone was looking at my forms on 15th March and have not heard anything since.
Does anyone know currently how long the wait is?
The lady who helped me fill in the forms said it could be 3 months but I just wondered if anyone has been through this process recently?
(Also really dreading if they send me for an assessment - which I'm sure they will!)

2-3 months may be about right. Some quicker, some not.

My pip claim took ten months, there's no real time scale unfortunately.

Are you sure you didn't mean DLA? You can't apply for pip until you turn 16.

My OH has only parked there a handful of times if there is absolutely nowhere else available near our house.
Surely if it's that much of an issue for her then she shouldn't be driving? Yes it's inconvenient for her I agree but surely this isn't the first time she's come across having to pull out with a slightly obstructed view? If there's a van parked near a junction I'm sure she handles it fine. I know it's different with it being outside her house but as I say. It's been a handful of times if there's nowhere else to go.
I'm honestly shocked a lot of people are agreeing with my neighbour! I thought it was bonkers

Wrong thread! 😆

In my area (Sussex), it's currently taking 3-4 months from application to assessment, then 6-8 weeks between assessment and decision.

I had one client recently who got their decision 3 weeks after the assessment, but I think that was a fluke.
