I contacted pip and made a claim on the 2nd of dec 2022. I had my phone call assessment on the 28th of feb. Today is week 6 and still heard nothing. I know it sounds silly but all the waiting for a decision is really affecting my anxiety. Just looking for some advice or other’s experience with the process

    Once the assessment report was returned to DWP a decision can take up to about 12 weeks. Once a decision is made you will be contacted. In the meantime all you can do is wait.

    Hello @ajsc

    Welcome to the community! Just to let you know, I popped your post into our PIP, DLA and AA section of the forum, in case you had any other queries. 

    I'm sorry to hear it is making you so anxious. We have a few members waiting for their decisions, please feel free to join in discussions and games in our Coffee Lounge, is where a lot of us get to know each other and keep our minds off things.
