    As you only sent your form back in March, it's now only just into May, that's not really long to be honest. Most people have to have a face 2 face assessment for PIP, so expect this. Waiting times vary depending on backlog in your area. It can be quite a few months in total from returning your forms, to having the assessment and then waiting for the decision.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
