It depends on your area and how busy they are for how long it takes to get a decision, but members tell us that it is usually between 4 and 6 weeks.
It is impossible for us to guess how many points you will score, remember that PIP is not about an impairment but about how it affects you in day to day life. There is a PIP self test here that you could do to see what you could potentially score but you may have to just wait and see.

You can also start a complaint by phoning the DWP. Remember to keep a record of when you call, who you speak to and the reference number for your complaint.
You will need to tell the DWP (in your letter or phone call):
