How long have you been waiting for your PIP Review decision so far?

StillIRise

I am still on a three year award of PIP that was due to end this July.  They sent the AR1 Review forms at the beginning of December and I returned them around 20th December with plenty of evidence.  I've had a text message from them to confirm receipt of the forms.  Then I had another text in March to say "we still have your form".  Then another one a week ago to say "we still have your form."

They claim I will still continue to receive the same payment until their decision is made.  Just curious as to how long it's taking for others.

Wow so it is taking a whole year in some cases.  How did your phone assessment go for you?

It was for my partner who I support. Phone assesment went well, and everything actually captured accurately by the assessor. She was awarded a higher rate for another 3 years. I used the benefits and work website guide to help us which was invaluable. I think it costs just £20 per year to access all the resources.

That's good news!  Sounds like you got the results through quite quickly too once the assessment was done.
