Hi all, 

I’ve had a text message from PIP saying they still haven’t made their decision and they will write to me when they have made one. Just wondering what is roughly the time scale from this text message to when they make and you receive their decision? My anxiety has been through the roof from having my assessment a couple of weeks ago. 

Also is it usually a good sign this text message?

    The text is a standard text and doesn't mean anything other than what it says. Timescales from that text vary wildly depending on backlogs and each individual case. From when the report was returned its up to about 12 weeks.
