Hi got decision letter over for weeks ago and still waiting0

Sorry should have said four ... 40

When I put my new claim in last year, I received my back pay exactly 4 weeks after my assessment. This time around for my change of circumstances, I received my back pay 15 days after DWP received my assessment report. In complete shock over the quick turn around time.
Good luck!1 -
Ok thank you I’m new to all this so thank you1

Hi and welcome to the community, Yes you can request your assessment report approx 7 days after your assessment.
It does happen that people get the money before the letter. Your letter wll detail when payment will be made for both back pay and award.
A decision can take a while after assessment they say up to 8 weeks after the assessment so I wouildnt panic yet1 -
Please don't feel discouraged from replying or offering your views @Lulu_1949, I believe Poppy was just explaining that the wait times for backpayments and first assessments are different so the original poster wouldn't think it would be normal to be kept waiting as long as you have been, it wasn't a criticism or saying you had done anything wrong.
It's always useful to hear other people's experiences and it would be a shame for you to stop sharing yours. Fingers crossed yours is sorted soon.
On another note welcome to the community @Chelsea2928! Have you been able to have a look at the assessment report?2 -
Hi Adrian I haven’t requested one as of yet but I will be ringing them in the morning0

I had my assessment on Thursday last week and then on the Friday got a text to say they have recieved my report so the day later, then today I have rang up requesting my report witch is being sent out today 2nd class so I'm hoping maybe wednesnesday I might receive my report and maybe that will indicate if I'm eligible for pip. What do I need to look out for in the report what will give me some indication?0

Compare those dots against the PIP descriptors online to see if there's any points recommended, they won't be added because it's a recommendation.
