Hello dear ,

I had a pip telephone assessment for about 2 hours then it's been a 5 weeks I'm still waiting and 2 weeks ago I got letter they said we have all information we need you don't need to contact us .

So is taht normal 5 weeks waiting period?

people said usually if your result was negative they would have said it after 2 weeks.

should I be positive about it!

Decisions can take up to 12 weeks after the assessment report was returned. There’s no timescales after that letter. Once a decision is made you will be contacted.

It doesn’t mean anything other than you’ve had no decision yet.

thanks for replying me ,

my friend has been rejected the same day he had pip assessment .why he did rejected so quick?

Has your friend had a decision letter yet? That seems extremely quick to actually have the decision on the same day as the assessment. Only a decision maker from DWP can make the decision.

yes actually after 2 weeks he got a letter to explain him the decision.

He said same day they asked him by textor email if you not agreed do reconsider decision and we will send you the letter to explain why you not accept.

He Told me like that .
