Hi and welcome to the community
New pip claims are taking up to 10 months to complete
You will most likely have an assessment with health cars provider which will be what you are waiting for and there is around 6 month wait for these
They then do a report to send to decision maker and this can take up to another 12 weeks approx -

You were advised in your previous thread that timescales from start to finish is about 10 months. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/87257/new-to-pip-how-long-does-it-usually-take-to-get-an-assessment-or-decision#latestThe 10-12 week timescale you were advised is very optimistic, even in normal times.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
