Hi Guys .. Everyday is becoming a drag for me waiting for DWP to make a decision i had my T/A on the 27/11/23. Its been 4 weeks today since my assessment I know the guidelines are 8 to 12 weeks but they text on the 12 /12/23 telling me no decision had been made I then received a letter a week later informing me they had all the info to make a decision then nothing! Does anyone have a similar experience just to put my mind at ease hanging around waiting really does flare up my depressive symptoms. Thank you

These are just standard texts that many of our members have received @Pilotsbay777 - hopefully you'll hear soon, but the holiday period won't have helped. The guidelines are just that unfortunately, & it just depends as to the workload of a decision maker. Often these texts just increase a person's anxiety unnecessarily it seems.
