Hi and welcome to the community 

You don't need to do anything pip claims are taking around 10 months to complete currently 

There are huge delays in some areas 

Have you had a text to say they have your form if not maybe give them a call to check 

You will be waiting for a assessment date could be around 6 month waiting

You will either get a phone call or a letter to arrange a time and date for face to face assessment or an over the phone assessment depending on Covid etc. I had over the phone assessment beginning of this year which I was denied but appealed and got it back. Whenever you get assessed and if you get it, it will be backdated to the date of the claim. If your unsure about what’s happening as it’s 2 months since your claim give them a call to see if they’ve got your claim form. Don’t forget if you fail appeal. Good luck.

Hello @mcs3365 How are you today?

Unfortunately as others have mentioned, there are backlogs with PIP claims across the country so it may be a little while until you hear about an appointment for assessment.  Did you receive a text confirming that your PIP2 form has been received?

Please keep us posted with any progress and feel free to ask any other questions you may have.  Also, I've amended the title of your thread to show your question and moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA category to help others find it

All the best and take care.
