Just to let you know, I've moved your post into the PIP category and renamed your discussion so that our members can find it more easily.
I believe that it takes about 12 weeks from when you started your claim to get a decision on average, but some can take a lot less time, or a lot longer.

It is advised that a decision can take up to 8 weeks after assessment but this is just a guide . It depends on backlog and workload of the decision maker
You can request a copy of your report approx 1 week after the assessment and this will show recommendations from assessor and you can add up the dots to see recommended points
This isnt a decision though as the DM may make changes tho majority go with the report
Fingers crossed for you and keep us updated
Give the PIP helpline a ring in a weeks time and request a copy of the assessment report.
You will be able to see the scores awarded and calculate what you should get.
Not sure of waiting times, but keep an eye on your bank account, as often payments for PIP, before award letter arrives.
Keep us informed.
Thanks again,
Paul
Many thanks
