Well I was told by my gp to send has I am clinically vulnerable so I sent it. What does paper assessment mean they send me a form or summat0

Hi as above there are no f2f assessments at present
How long you will have to wait depends on backlog but expect it to be a while as nothing happens quick especially in current circumstances0 -
Thank you so much0

As this is your first time claim then it could potentially take several months. I would agree with the shielding letter and i'm also unsure how that will help your claim because it's just advice from the Government regarding shielding. It doesn't tell them anything at all about how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors and this is really what's needed.

Dont know where you live @berry123 but I know different areas have different backlogs. I live in South Yorkshire and submitted my first claim back in October. My telephone assessment is happening this Monday so for this area its looking at around close to 3 months from when they acknowledge receipt of the forms to when you get an assessment. Obviously it will then be another wait for the decision.
If you are lucky you may get yours quicker but if you don't hear anything for a couple of months don't worry the process takes some time0 -
Thnx keep us updated what happens in Monday. Wish you well all the best1

hello, hope your assessment goes ok, and wait a week or so after your assessment then phone the DWP and request a copy of your assessment report and on receiving it you can work out what your award may should be but you still have to wait for the award notification letter.0
