Hi @Drysdale2107 - welcome to the community. The average wait from assessment to decision is about 8 weeks. It can vary enormously, & we have seen members getting a decision anything from 2 -12 weeks.

Welcome to the community and thank you for reaching out . I see @poppy123456 and @chiarieds have both answered your question, but if you would like any further information about the PIP process, then please let us know. I will also move your comment into our PIP/DLA/AA category, in the hope that more members will share their experiences with you too.

The DWP's policy is to say up to 8 weeks. My experience is that you get a decision anywhere between 4-6 weeks. If you should go beyond the 8 weeks, you should phone the DWP and ask them why there is a delay? The best time to call them is usually 9.00 a.m. If you are lucky somebody will answer within 15-20 mins. but be prepared to wait for at least an hour to get through. The music they play on a loop is so bad, I'm surprised they can't find something nicer to play.

2 weeks to 3 months is imo too wide. As I said my experience is 4-6 weeks, which sometimes can stretch to 8 weeks. But of course it can sometimes exceed this length of time.
