HI,I'm not sure what advice you would like, other than all you can do is wait, i'm afraid. There's no timescales for any assessment times, or for decisions. Face to face assessments are still suspended and telephone assessments have replaced them, which most people are having.I understand just how stress all the waiting is. Once an assessment date becomes available they will contact you. If you're successfully awarded then it will be backdated to the date your PIP ended.Goodluck.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Thank you all for your kind messages I’m worrying about the assessment they are the once that make a decision without knowing what you go through even though you have all your medical records it took me 18 mths the last time as PIP had only started to take over from DLA wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year xx

Dont worry debby. I emailed my form back towards the end of October and got an email conformation that it was on their system on 28th of October and I haven't heard anything else since either. Don't think you have been forgotten because you haven't.
I'm expecting not to hear anything about a phone assessment until early next year and I don't think you probably will either. It's just a case of being patient unfortunately. -

It's worth remembering that the health assessment providers do not make decisions, they make recommendations only and write a report with those recommendations in it. A decision maker from DWP is the only person that can make a decision.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
