How long until a decision?

Hat555

I have had a text today saying that the Health worker has typed up my notes after my telephone assessment. How long do you think it will be before I get a decision? I have received P.I.P for several years this is an renewal assessment of my condition. 
Thanks. H

Hi @Hat555 Welcome to the community it is really any bodies guess how long a decision will take dependant  on decision makers workload and if any further evidence is required.

As you have had a terxt to say your report is complete you can ring DWP and request a copy of the report, this will show the assessors recommended points, it isnt the final decision but will give you idea as the DM ususally goes with the report

Fingers crossed for you

Hi @Hat555 and @jenson1, unfortunately it is hard to say how long the wait will be as this will depend in the backlog in your local area.

A week after the assessment, you should be able to ring up and ask for a copy of the report. This will have the suggestions from the assessor and will give you an indication about what award you will recieve.
