Good Morning,

just got the text this morning saying I’ve been awarded pip. I am so relieved as it was really stressing me out.

my application has been quite straightforward, I applied 8th November 2022 and sent my application off online 22nd December. 18th jan I received a letter saying I needed an assessment, first assessment was cancelled but then had it last week. Got text next day to say the dwp had my assessment, and this morning I got the text saying I had been awarded it. Not sure how much yet because I haven’t phoned them but I am so so relieved as my anxiety has been through the roof.

    Yes, just over 3 months. DWP at it's best. Well done.

    Had a letter today saying they have all info they need to make decision but no clue of how long I'll have to wait now for actual decision

    Distraction is your friend to take the stress / anxiety out of the process. When you start thinking about it, do stuff you enjoy. Listen to music, watch TV, pick a 10 letter word - see how many words you can make from the letters etc. As you don't know the decision, you have nothing to worry about, it's a waste of energy.
