Pip - how long does it take after the phone call?

TomJoeMac

Good morning all I was just wondering if anyone can advise me on as to how long it takes from having the phone call

Hi @TomJoeMac - & welcome to the community. It can take anywhere from 2-12 weeks to receive your decision letter following a phone assessment. Hope that answers your query.

Welcome to the community @TomJoeMac, hope you're doing well today

As Chiarieds mentioned above, it can vary quite a lot, but I hope yours comes through soon. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask away!

In your first commnt you asked how long it takes after the phone call. Now you're asking how long it takes after finally getting the decision.

Can you please confirm if a decision's been made to award you PIP? and was the decision made by the Tribunal or DWP? when was the decision made please?

It was made by a tribunal and I was awarded pip thanks

It was made on 29/11/23

It can take up to 8 weeks for them to pay what is owed and to put your award into payment. With Christmas being the end of the week, it's cutting it rather fine now to receive money that's owed but yes, it's still possible.
