HELP ! PIP have told me i am in a queue for an assessment

Nuttymoo1966

My award ends 2nd June 2023 however they have extended until 2024. I phoned today and was  told that i am in the queue for  an assessment , she couldnt tell me if it was a telephone or in person or even how long it will take to hear from them . I suffer fibromyalgia , duptuynes contracture, IBS incontinence , migraines, carpal tunnel, urinary incontinence, dificulty swallowing , GERD , fatigue , long covid   and my pain medication has increased to daily morphine since my last award.  I am worrying now as i use my award  standard daily living  to pay for a cleaner and for  someone to help with laundry . shopping etc as i am unable to do this now . 
Has anyone had any experience of how long the wait might be , i am in Wales . I was hoping they would see my increased medication and be satisfied that i still quality . 
thank you for reading

There are extremely long delays with review decisions, which it probably why they extended your award until 2024. Some are waiting over 1 year for a decision.

Most have assessments so yours being in a queue for one, is not surprising. Most are by telephone, some are face to face or video.

Unfortunately, there's nothing more you can do but wait.
