Hi all,
Just wondering,for those who have had telephone assessments recently,how long has it taken to hear from DWP that they've received the report?

    Hi @Poelover

    Thanks for asking this question :) Have you had an assessment recently? If so, how did it go?

    It normally takes up to about a week, and you should receive a text to confirm it :)

    Some are returned within a few hours, some within 24 hours. Others can take a few weeks, if this happens then it’s likely to be in an audit, which is nothing to worry about. It’s just them checking the assessor did their job correctly.
    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.

    That doesn't usually happen when claiming PIP.  This is more linked to UC and the work capability assessment.
    If successfully awarded, money usually goes into your bank before you receive the decision letter. Providing you're not transferring from DLA.

    You can always call DWP and ask them what the award is..This is exactly what i did. I never received a text..

    It was whilst talking to them about sending in more info, that they informed me of my success and award levels and award length.
