    The answer will be the same as when you last asked. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/91349/pip-change#latest
    It's not unusal for your file to go to a decision maker before being sent to the health assessment provider and a file isn't always sent across straight away. I've known it about 4 months before a file is sent.
    You could be in for a wait of several months because most people have assessments. My advice would be to try to forget about it and concentrate on something else. I realise it's not easy to do this. Constantly ringing them isn't helping you when they tell you the same thing.

    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.

    Thank you for anwersing me but I rang them as I had some more evidence that I wanted to check they had got it and I’m not constantly ringing them.

    Hi @yacine99 I'm sorry to read that you've been upset, and I'm sure that wasn't the intention here.

    Sometimes when we don't have all the information, we can make assumptions based on what we do know.

    Without knowing that you had sent in some more evidence since you first applied, Poppy was probably worried that you would be more anxious on hearing about the wait for a decision when you called.

    Is there anything we can do to help with the stress you're feeling about PIP?

    Hi no that’s ok thank you this was a new piece of evidence I sent in and totally different from the first piece of evidence I had sent in I was just upset how she had thought that I had been ringing them all the time when I didn’t I was just checking for my own piece of mind that pip had received this information I felt like I was being judged.

    No one's here to judge you @yacine99 sometimes people make mistakes and assumptions, it's a very human thing. 

    Now that we know it was to check they'd received the new evidence, that really helps clear things up :)

    I wasn't judging you at all, i'm not here to judge anyone. I was just advising that ringing them often like this doesn't help anyone's anxiety.
