Hi Im new here, been reading discussions for a while now. I had my pip face to face just over a week ago. Any ideas how many weeks I will be waiting for decision ? Also I wondered if I am entitled  to employment support allowance. Husband is in full time work and I dont know if that will make a difference. Many thanks in advance for any advise. :smile:

    PIP decisions usually take 2-4 weeks. It is a good idea to ring the DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report (PA4) this will give you an indicaton of what your score might be and how the assessment went

    You can usually ask for a copy of the report 3 days after the assessment, and pip decision usually takes up to 4 weeks but sometimes longer..... @lulubella .. Yes you can claim ESA as long as you meet the criteria.... It doesn't matter if your husband works

    I phoned DWP for a copy of my PIP report the day after my assessment and received it 10 days later.  My DWP decision letter arrived a few days after that - but times can vary.

    It's never pleasant going for a medical, having to explain yourself to people who don't know any better..... But good luck with it, hope all goes well.... Keep us posted
