Hello. Had my telephone assessment 19th December. Rang today to ask 4 copy of report. Was told no decision has been made yet and it is now with case manager. I'm anxious. Is this a bad sign?

    Is this for PIP? Either way, It doesn't mean anything other than "no decision has been made yet." A decision can take anything up to about 12 weeks after the report was returned to DWP.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hello there @kh75 and welcome, thanks for posting. Applying for PIP can be a very stressful process, but there is help and support out there :) Well done for getting through the assessment, that's a big chunk of this done and dusted.

    You're welcome to spend time on the community if that would help take your mind off things, or reassure you. The coffee lounge is a good place to go to get to know other members if you'd like. 

    Let us know if there's anything we can lend a hand with in the meantime.

    On the 21st December I received this text
    We've received the written report of your PIP assessment. We will write to you once we've made a decision on your PIP. As a guide you should hear from us within 8 weeks. You don't need to contact us unless any of the details you gave us have changed. Thank you.

    I got the exact same text today. Wud this b a mistake?

    It sounds like it's perhaps an admin error to me @kh75 :) I could be wrong, but I think people do sometimes get duplicate texts and letters.

    Most people have telephone assessments. Some have video or face to face. Timescales vary from several weeks to a few months, potentially longer. All you can do is wait but please be aware that it's not awarded based on any diagnosis.
