It depends how big the back-log is in your area, we are seeing more and more that the average claim can take upto 10 months from start to finish.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming š”

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.ĀEdit: I live in Birmingham. Different areas may have a longer back logĀ

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.Ā ĀHe/HimĀ
