I,v been waiting for my pip review for 3 months to be told it will take up to 52 weeks how can this be fair I,v had 3x new conditions I,v told them about that's why I had the review it's hard enough living on what I get now because I can't claim anything else because my partner works I find it really horrible when I have to ask my partner to buy me socks and pants because I don't get enough money how can this Social care Welfare system be fair for people who cannot work it's so so sad

    Unfortunately it’s the same for most people with reviews. This is because of all the extra new claims in the past few years and they’ve constantly been concentrating on those.

    I returned my review form in November last year and still waiting for a decision.

    I'm about to send mine in too. I got a five year award last time but have had to take it to tribunal twice. It's frightening because even on standard for both, we still struggle. Good luck when it finally comes around.

    @andy101 I know it's such a frustrating process. I hope it doesn't take 52 weeks and is much quicker for you.
