Pip

Hello I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice 


I'm currently on ESA and LCWRA due to my mental health. I had my PIP assessment Tuesday which was approximately one hour ten minutes, I really dont know how it went. 

I received the text within 24 hours saying they had received the written report in 8 weeks. I'm suffering with OCD and depression and the not knowing is what is causing me the biggest amount of stress. I know 8 weeks is a guideline but on average how long does it take on average I know every case is different 


Thankyou in advance

    The timescales are more like anything up to 12 weeks after the report is returned. Some wait less and some longer. Once a decision is made you will be contacted.

    Hello @ohhilotx. You have done really well to reach out to us. I can see you have already been provided with some advice. 

    It sounds like the unknown is really difficult for you at the moment and causing you a lot of stress. Would anything help to reduce the stress for you at the moment?  :)
