Hi, my name is Nin2905! PIP timeline

Nin2905

New to PIP and just wanted to say this forum got me through the process. I thought i’d write my timeline here for those like myself who were checking endlessly for recent claim timelines. 

30th March - Phoned to claim

12th April - Text from independent services dealing with my assessment 

5th June - Video Assessment

6th June - Text to say received assessment report

20th June - Text to say they have not yet made a decision 

22nd June - Awarded PIP

I would like to point out that I did get access to my report, my assessor came across as really empathetic and caring however his report didn’t reflect what I had said, in fact some points were completely wrong. Be very careful and specific with the words you use!

Wow IAS received my application before yours and I am still waiting for an assessment. Are you able to confirm where in the U.K. you are?

Waiting times vary depending on area. Also everyones case is different, some wait longer than others. There's really nothing more you can do but wait.
