Hi guys,

just had my video assessment for pip, was so anxious about it. I am suffering with severe depression and anxiety 
my mum was stuck in traffic coming from Birmingham and didnt end up making the call
managed to answer all questions and lady was lovely 
will see what happens bext

Thank blue_eyes

i know its quite hard to get, especially for mental health 
can see it being a long process 😫

@Imarie3004 ,if you don't mind me asking it was your first claim or a review ? I had an assessment 13weeks ago,but mine was a review. And still waiting. 
From what I read on this forum for people who claimed first time awaiting time is much shorter than for a review one.

It was my first assessment blue_eyes, was so scary but glad its over. 

I hope your wait isnt too long

The timescales once the report is returned is the same for new claims as it is for reviews. Of course it’s just a guide and each individual case will be different. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.
