Pip telephone assessment

dm720

My pip telephone assessment was 9th May 2023 this was a review of pip for which I returned forms may 2022 . After telephone assessment 3 hours later recieved text from dwp saying they'd recieved health assessment and I hear of them in 6 wks . I'm now hoping my assessment went well and I get a possitive outcome . I feel assessment went OK but I'm also nervous thinking I may not get a new award . Hopefully I won't be kept waiting 6 wks as after a year of waiting for them review me its been so stressful not knowing . I also wanted to ask if award was to be higher then previous award would payment be back dated as its a long time to wait and feel my health as got worse .

Timescales for decisions are more like up to about 12 weeks after the report was returned, rather than the 6 weeks you were informed.

As it's a review started by DWP they don't usually owe any money if any new award is higher. However, because of the delays with decisions they have been known to owe some people some money but not everyone. You'll just need to wait to see what happens with that.

Hi does anyone know how long after telephone assessment will hear if I will get it or not please?

Alex_Alumni

It can be anything up to 12 weeks or more @foxyalf, have you had your assessment recently?

Blue_eyes

@foxyalf,usually it is between 2 to 12 weeks,but I had my assessment 12 weeks ago and still waiting. I am from West Midlands area,I don't know,maybe there is some kind of a backlog here 🤔🤔

foxyalf

@Blue_eyes is your pip claim a new one or an review?

Blue_eyes

@concon07 ,review...and I was told,because it is a review it might take that long,even longer. New claims have "priority" 😉 So I am waiting patiently,I mean I'm trying.

foxyalf

That’s a standard text. Decisions can take anything up to about 12 weeks after the report was returned.

What usually helps you when you are having flares? Have they made the decision yet?

If so, I am wondering if you would like to share a little more with us about how this has gone for you. We are listening to you and will help you if there is anything we can do
