Awaiting pip decision!! Help

mayac98

Hi I applied for pip 4th December 2021, and had my Assesment last Tuesday and a few hours after I got a text from DWP saying they received my Assesment and will here from them within 6 weeks!! I’ve already waited 6 months any idea how long this will take as waiting is torture?

Hi mayac98 and a warm welcome from me to the online community.  Unfortunately, there are  delays in the PIP process and you could well be waiting at least 6 weeks for a response. However, on a brighter note you will see that some of our members do receive a decision quickly.  I do hope you receive a decision sooner rather than later and do let us know if you need any help and support once you receive the decision.   Take care

Thankyou so much for your reply! I know waiting is such a pain but everyone is in the same situation. Thanks for been so welcoming! X

How did you find the assessment?

I found the Assesment quiet difficult as I suffer from OCD intrusive thoughts what I am on medication for I’ve had this disorder since I was 4 and it ruins my life so it is hard for me to talk about but the health professional was so lovely and nice x
