Hello @Duke and a warm welcome to our online community, how's your Friday morning shaping up?

The PIP process can take it's toll, definitely, and we understand how you're feeling. The good news is that, although it's slow progress, you're inching closer to getting that decision. How did you feel the telephone assessment went?

Just to let you know, I've moved your thread to our PIP, DLA and AA category and amended the title to reflect your situation so others can spot it

Take care and please keep us updated with how you get on.

As annoying as the time it takes, hopefully the decision will be positive. Until the decision is received, when you start to 'thinking' about it, distraction is your friend, maybe call a friend to distract you.

Assessment itself was 2hr 30minutes really long but she was very nice and she was the same person who phone me later for more information and my companion was able to help with the phone call with no problem but so stressed out

That's a long one. You must have been exhausted at the end of that!

Allow 12 weeks - but hopefully it will not take that long.
