Hi all. So I have received a copy of my assessment. At the end it states a review should be or in 18 months. Would this be a positive factor that I will be awarded pip? I hate the anxiety this causes

    Hi - the assessment report is just what the assessor has recommended, both the points & length of time before your claim should be reviewed. The DWP decision maker usually goes along with this recommendation, but not always as they look at everything you've sent.
    You can check what points may be given by looking at each section in the report (there will be a tick/mark against each of the descriptors) & seeing what it corresponds to here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/PIP descriptors.pdf

     My daily living I scored 15 and my mobility I scored 10. I don’t understand it all and the wait is awful. Sorry for being a nuisance

    If the decision maker goes with the report then, as above, it looks possible that the enhanced rate for daily living & standard rate for mobility is indicated. Unfortunately it can take anything up to 12 weeks to get your decision letter, so you'll have to wait for this to know the outcome.
    Please don't worry, you're not a nuisance in the slightest.

    Update. I got a call today I’ve been awarded PIP 🙌🏼  was advised back pay would be 3-5 days and my decision letter with all information on would be 7-10 days if this helps others who are worrying. 
    1st rang 18th October had a phone assessment 5th January received text stating still not made decision 23rd January then had a phone call 30th January advising me I have been awarded. 
    Thank you all so much for your help and putting me at ease while I waited.
