I'm assuming you're talking about PIP? and you're waiting for a decision? If so then there's huge backlogs and some are waiting more than 10 months. They've been concentrating on new claims for quite sometime.

It doesn't apply to all those of state pension age. If DWP think your conditions are unlikely to change then you'll receive a 10 year award. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-pensioners-to-benefit-from-pip-assessment-overhaul
