Hello @Davidblaine1

Welcome to the online community, how are you?

Thanks for joining us and telling us about your PIP assessment. How do you feel the assessment went? Decision times can vary quite a bit at the moment but you could be looking at about 12 weeks, but hopefully it is quicker for you.

How have you found the PIP process so far?

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Hello I am well thankyou. The assesment was ok but a little shorter than expected. The assessment laidy was very supportive through out the whole process, and helped took words out of my mouth any time I stumbled on a question. Which was very convenient as it eased my anxiety and made me feel somebody could actually understand what these conditions can do to somebody

The decision can take up to 12 weeks after DWP receive the assessment report.
