    HI @Ann75 and welcome to the community.

    I don't know an exact timescale but it could be quite a while, maybe up to 16 weeks. I'm sure someone with recent experience will be able to give you a better idea.

    I rung the pip enquiry line n the lady said that the assessor who conducted the telephone assessment on 27 th September 9.15 am hadn’t sent the report bk yet

    N that when Dwp receive it then it’s given to someone to make a decision on n I ai hear in around two weeks n get a text message

    Just wondering why Dwp haven’t got my report bk yet

    Hi

    Maybe the report has gone to audit before being sent to the dwp.

    Sometimes that happens.

    Yes being in an audit is the likely reason why it hasn't been returned. If it is then once the audit is completed it will be retuned. From there a decision can take up to 12 weeks.

    You can ring the assessment providers and ask them why it hasn't been returned. If it's in audit they will tell you.

    That's normal for that to happen. Sometimes there's a delay in them returning it for various reasons and one of them being the report was chosen for Audit. The assessor will not know this during the assessment.

    When it’s a review they often text to tell you the review is complete and to expect a letter in the next 2 weeks. They don’t usually send a text stating the decision.

    I had my text this morning and rang to ask what the decision was and they told me. Once you have that text you can ring to ask them.

    it said “ we have made our decision” u will get letter in 10 to 14 days

    The man who rang me on a 0800 number said to me that the decision would be made today , he didn’t tell me the decision .

    He did however ask me if it came to it was I able to accept a lump sum into my account
