Hi All, had my pip assessment 3 weeks ago, no text from dwp, so i rang pip to be told my report was in its last stages of audit. As anyone any idea how long it may take now please, till the dwp receives my report or that i get a decision. My anxiety at the moment is through the roof. Thanknyou

There's no timescales how long a report can remain in audit. I've had a report remain in audit for 6 weeks, Once it's returned a decision can take anything up to about 12 weeks.

Hi All, hope your all well,  just an update, june 28th my telephone pip assessment, my report went to audit, july 24th i finally recieved the text from dwp saying they had received my report so they could make a decision. So some more waiting time for me, certainly doesnt help your anxiety does it ?

@jan6122 It really doesn't. I see so many members so anxious over the wait. I hope it isn't too long for you now. Have you thought about joining us in the Coffee Lounge? It's where we play games, share interests and get to know each other. May help keep your mind off it all

Hi L Volunteer, Thank you for asking, im still very anxious. I had a text at 8.09am this morning from dwp saying they had not yet made a decision. Watching the England game helped me take my mind off it a little, but got anxious over that game lol

The length of time it's taking is no indication of anything at all, other than no decision has yet been made. It seems like your report was sent to Audit because it took almost 4 weeks for the report to be returned. That will of course delay the decision process. Timescales are up to 12 weeks after the report is return.

Many members are awarded whether they have a decision in 2 weeks or 12 weeks.

Yes it was sent to audit, it just seems to be taking so long, thanks for your reply Poppy
