Hey everyone

I am new to here so I hope I have wrote this in the correct place!

I applied and sent off my form for pip in January 2022. I had my telephone assessment on 27th July - and still til this day I have not heard anything from them? No text like everyone else says they have had, no letter, no nothing? Is it normal to be waiting this long for a decision?

It will have been 9 weeks on Wednesday since my telephone assessment.

Many thanks in advance to any replies!

Sarah

    From when the assessment report is returned to DWP a decision can take 2-12 weeks.
    Your assessment report may have been chosen for audit at the health assessment providers. If this happens it delays the decision making process because there’s no timescales how long it will remain there. 
    You can ring PIP to ask if the report has been returned but other than that all you can do is wait.
    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.
