Aznarder

Jan 18th 2023 - called PIP saying I wanted to apply & also filled in the online application process that day.

14th February 2023 - received a text informing me that my phone assessment was to be carried out on February 27th 2023 at 12,30pm.

The assessor called promptly on time on the 27th February 2023

 3rd march 2023 - I received a text saying the DWP had received my written assessment & that a decision should be made within 8 weeks.

10th march 2023 - I received a call from the DWP saying no decision was made yet regarding my PIP assessment BUT theoretically could I manage a large lump sum were i successful in my application for PIP

14th march 2023 I received a text saying I had been awarded PIP & that the covering letter would arrive within two weeks.

17th march 2023 - full lump sum backdated to January 18th 2023 arrived in my bank.

As far as I can tell this is only a call successfully assessed applicants get but I can't say that with 100% certainly.  Do let me know how it goes. All the best & rooting for you!
