edited May 2023 in PIP, DLA, and AA
hi guys so I applied for pip in February 2023 and had assessment on 4th May.
i know I had text saying that they received report same day as my assessment. Can I ask for the report to be sent to me too?
also I noticed there’s 8 week timeframe but has there been quicker?
what shall I do next? I applied for pip because of my seizures from brain injury 2018 and my mental health that’s ptsd and depression
thanks

    Hi @concon07 - & welcome to the community. You can ask for a copy of your assessment report, but bear in mind this is just a recommendation, & reading this sometimes just causes additional stress, so it's often far better to wait for your decision letter.
    Some people do get their decision letter quicker than the timeframe you mention, but actually the wait can unfortunately be up to 12 weeks, altho the DWP keep on saying just 8 weeks!
    Please let us know how you get on.
