Please please let me know if I can help you further?????
PIp decisions usually take 2-4 weeks
You should ring the DWP for a copy of the assessment report
If your claim is successful it is yours to do what you want with it.
If you are awarded the daily living component your SiL might be able to claim carers allowance if she meets the criteria
