I applied for pip July 22, I had my phone consultation on August 22, that's 7 months now, I haven't heard anything from anyone. No letter's or phone calls, or emails. Can someone please help me. I have tried calling the 0800 number, but it's a nightmare to get to talk anyone.

    That does seem a rather long time to wait after the assessment. Unfortunately, we can only guess what the issue is so you'll need to ring PIP to ask. Yes, it can be difficult to get through but usually if you ring as soon as they open then often there's a better chance of getting through but even then you could be on hold for up to an hour.
