New claim

Liquidgalaxy2

I Applied for pip on 20th October and I have sent the forms back to them but i am still waiting for a desion from them theyve only contacted me to say that they have received the forms would it be okay to call them on Monday to see what's going on as when I called them in October they said that it takes ten to twelve weeks to get a desion

Sorry about spelling mistakes any advice or information would be appreciated

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

To clarify, doing the report is usually done within 24 hours of the assessment but for the Decision Maker to make a decision can take up to 12 weeks.

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#latest

The 10-12 week timescale you were advised is very optimistic, even in normal times.

Hadn’t spotted it was an OP returning to ask the same question as a previous thread they started.
