I'm so sorry to bother you, I applied for pip in march had my phone call 2nd may, had a txt on 3rd may saying my assessment is with the assessor and then a txt on the 20th saying the still haven't made a decision, so I requested my assessment letter and at the back page it says based on the claimant's likely future circumstances it would be appropriate to review the claim in 2 years what does that mean please? Thank you x

    It means what it says, they are recommending a review in 2 years but this doesn't mean there's an award recommended. Have you looked at the recommendations for the descriptors in the report? You will find them towards the back and next to each one there will be a tick or a dot. You can use the PIP self test to add up any potential points. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-self-test

    They mostly go with the report but it has been known for them to go against it. You will be contacted once a decision is made.

    Hi @annie8686, looks like Poppy has answered your question already but I just wanted to welcome you to the community 😊

    Hope your decision doesn't take too much longer to come through.
