    Hi,
    The letter they sent you is a standard letter they send everyone but it's quite pointless in my opinion. A decision can still take between 2-12 weeks after this. Your timescale up to now compared to lots of others here is rather quick.
    Nothing more you can do but wait for the decision.
    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.

    Welcome to the community @Tashj41 :) It's great to have you on board!

    It's difficult to predict exactly how long it'll be before you hear back about a decision, but I hope you don't have to wait too long. Keep an eye on your bank statement, as the money sometimes comes in before the decision letter arrives. 

    How do you feel your assessment went?

    Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to PIP, and have tweaked the title a little.

    PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis. What matters is how your conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities.
    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.
