27 weeks and still not had a decision for Pip

Hi I’ve never used a forum before so sorry haven’t got a clue how to do this I just wondered how long it took for the Pip claim to be decided upon.
I started my claim in July 2018 had a face to face home interview the first week of November 2018. A letter from Dwp on the 29 th Nov saying they had all the information. I’ve
Never heard another thing. My Community Mental health nurse said I could ring but I’m very nervous around people I don’t know. I can’t sleep at night wondering why I haven’t heard anything. I had a lifetime award for DLA but never sent the forms back for the change to Pip there was a 5 month gap between the two. My Nurse left and I had no one to help me fill in the forms. My new nurse helped me in July. Does anyone think I should do something to find out what’s happening all this uncertainty is very distressing and I’m so low and depressed I don’t want to eat I just keep crying all the time.

I've been through this waiting game, it really is a headache indeed.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

The situation isn’t good though I feel how can the DWP say no timescales when it’s obvious from a home assessment that someone is in need of the money to pay for help with their disability. I’ve been assessed for the list for a ground floor place no stairs and a wet room as it’s a daily struggle here. I’ve no idea how long I will have to wait. I pay already for a PA and can’t afford anymore help on my own. I shall ring for the report and re post once I have it. The lady that came was an occupational therapist she was very kind suggesting lots of things to help me my own occupational therapist hadn’t.
Ive had a lot of adaptations to where I live but the steps and stairs toilet and bath are a real problem.
Thank you taking the time to reply.
