Hi guys,
After so much worry i was awarded PIP on the first try today! Just for an idea of timescales i applied on 23rd February, telephone assessment on 11th May, text confirming they had recieved my report on 20th May, text today saying i had been awarded. I did nothing other than write on the application honestly & exactly how i am day to day and the same with the assessment. Don't give up guys.
