It means exactly what it says... they've not made a decision yet. It can take between 2-12 weeks for a decision, once the report was returned to them.

Hello and welcome to the community @samq and thanks for your query, I think it's natural to feel a little uncertain about what will happen while you're waiting. 

After an assessment, the decision will take anywhere between 2 and 12 weeks to be confirmed, so you may well still have a long wait, but hopefully it won't be much longer. 

How did you find the assessment? Applying for PIP isn't an easy process to go through, but you've done the hard part now, and everything you need to. 

I know it's hard to do, but try an put it out of your mind and focus on other things for the time being, like something you enjoy, or spending time with friends and family. 

If the community can help take your mind off things, please have a look around, here's a few of the best places to get started:

• Recent discussions is where you'll find all the latest conversations our members are having
• The categories page shows all the different topics for discussion
• The virtual coffee lounge is a place to chat, get to know other members, and play games too
