Hi guys,

Posted here a couple of times now.

I applied for pip in January, completed the form online and sent in some evidence too. I had a txt anout 3 weeks ago saying I had an assessment today on the phone.

They called me and I spoke to a lady, the assessment lasted about an hour or just over, I feel like I answered things ok but you never know. My reason for applying is I am severely sight impaired. I did look at another post of someone that got turned down and they mentioned it said they had good rapport with the assessor, I hope that doesn't go against you.. I have major issues with my sight but I try not to let it get me down so I come across chatty on the phone.

She said she would do a report and it would be up to 6-8 weeks to hear from the DWP.

    Once the report is written and returned a decision can take up to 12 weeks. Try to focus on something else while you wait. (i know it's difficult)
