Hello Guys
I have done a pip claim in March 20th and in April 24th i have received the form, which i filled it out and send it back straight the next day on 25th of April. Its been now 12 weeks since i send the form in to the dwp. Do you guys have any advise, like will it take longer or is this a normal process?
Many thanks

Hi,There's no timescales, it depends on backlog in your area. Face to face assessments are suspended due to Covid19, so you'll either have a phone assessment, paper based or they will wait for the face to face assessments to start back up again. No idea how long the wait will be. Under normal times people can wait severeal months and more.0

Hi and welcome to the community great to have you on board. If you are successful in your claim you will be paid from the date you applied.
Hope you get some news soon and fingers crossed for your claim, keep us updated0 -
Yes from the date you applied, providing you're not transfering from DLA.

welcome to the community.
When I applied for PIP it took around 16 weeks so that length of time is not unusual sadly0 -

@james19o6 yes luckily i still have it 08001884881 (atos) i believe0

@james19o6 just to add that number was the number i rang to get a phone assessment, if your looking for PIP number you can get that easily on the internet hope it helps0

PIP enquiry lineTelephone: 0800 121 4433However, your file will have most likely been sent to the health assessment providers by now, so it will be those you'll need to ring and not DWP. This will either be Capita or Independent Assessment Services, you'll need to check which one covers your area.

Hello guys,
Just wanted to update it. I have received a letter today stating my telephone assessment will be on wednesday the 12th of August 2020. Do you guys have any advice or etc?0 -
If you kept a copy of the form then have a read of that before the assessment because part of it will be to verify what you wrote, as well as any other information they need. The phone call can last anywhere from 20 - 90 minutes, sometimes longer. It really depends on what information they need.Good luck.0

Thank you for you info and advise mike. Its just i the form came to me really late and i had only 3 days left once i received so thats why.
But anyway i also receive lcwra would that be also helpful for them if i mention it?0 -

Hello guys i just had my telephone assessment. And cant complain its was okay. However how long does it take to make them decision and send it to me and when can i request for a assessment report?
Many thanks0 -
Hi you van usually request your report after about 7 days you may get a text to say DWP have your report
It can take around 8 weeks for decision but no set timescale depends on workload of the DM0 -
Hi there I’m still waiting for my letter and my report but I called them and they told me over the phone .1
