Hi there 

Some people have waited over 6 months for assessments but there are no fixed timescales its just a waiting game

I applied for PIP in June 2021 and have just received notification that my telephone assessment is next Thursday. So about 4 months for me so far but I hear some people have waited double this time. 

Edit: I live in Birmingham. Different areas may have a longer back log

I started claim on 24/3/21 and got letter today, so just over 6 months for me but know that was good going as many people quoting 10 or more months
good luck

My most recent claim was a review of an existing award, but that took four and a half months from the date I sent the paperwork back to them to recieving a date for a telephone assessment.
