PIP timeline question

Hi, I've applied for PIP for my daughter 2 months ago and had no contact from the DWP since then.
I red that the waiting time is about 3 months end to end but you are also mentioning the assessments and I'm not sure how long do you have to wait for those and then after?
I am worried I did something wrong, or that they lost the form, or that I missed a call...
Thanks for help in advance.

Timescales are only ever a guide. It will depend on backlog and each individual case. An assessment is most likely because most people have them, which are mostly by telephone. Some are face to face and video. Some wait several weeks and others wait a few months, possibly longer.Once the assessment report is returned to DWP a decision can take up to 12 weeks.0

Hi @aniayka and welcome to the community!
How are you doing? I know the wait for PIP can be fustrating. It sounds like this is within 'normal' timescales and I hope you hear something soon. However, if you wanted to, you can ring up and ask if they've recieved the claim form.PIP enquiry line
