Hello guys,
I have just had a phonecall to say I've been awarded pip and if I was comfortable with lump sum payment,
She couldn't give me any amounts just to wait for a letter on the decision, overall my application has been a lot smoother than most I've read about so I'm thanking my lucky stars. Ill post my timeline below to give people an idea of timescale and waiting times. 

07/02/2023 - phoned for application form. 
21/02/2023- they received my application form. 
24/03/2023- phone assessment 
27/03/2023- dwp recieved my report. 
11/04/2023- not made a decision text message. 
13/04/2023- had a phonecall to be awarded. 

Hope this helps guys ❤️

    I know it is such a huge relief @Whymeiwonder2 I wasn't going to apply because I saw loads of horror around claiming for mental health but I was pushed to try because of how severe it Is , now I'm so happy I can use the money to support my needs 😀 x

    @Whymeiwonder2 thats true I just saw loads of people have a hard time it almost felt too good to be true , I tried to call earlier to see what they awarded me but after 1hr11min on hold they put phone down and said it was closed 😆
