My Pip Journey for Aspergers and ADHD

Here is some hope for those with learning difficulties that the DWP are issuing pip without the need for mandatory reconsideration and appeals. 
27th September 2022 - Phoned up to apply and received forms by email during the call
24th October 2022 - I submitted the forms
25th October 2022 - Received a text to say case has been passed to Independent Assessment Services (IAS)
13th December 2022 - Received a phone call from an assessor from IAS
16th December 2022 - Assessment received by DWP from IAS
30th December 2022 - Received a text saying a decision had not yet been made on my pip
9th January 2023 - Received a text confirming I had been awarded PIP and the letter will be with me in two weeks.
10th January 2023 - Used the automated phone system thanks to advice on this forum to check the amount I am due to receive and I am pleased I have got the enhanced daily living amount arriving in my bank account in the next few days. 
I may just be lucky with mine that it wasn't thrown out but don't give up and appeal if you need and I will if I have to in the future.
