Text From Pip

Hi all,
I received this text from PIP 2 weeks ago

Hello from Independent Assessment Services. We conduct Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This is for information purposes only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment. We will look at the available evidence and will contact you with an appointment if we need to have a consultation with you. You can find information about the service we provide at https://mypipassessment.co.uk. You do not need to contact us.

Can anyone give me an idea how long I will be waiting before I hear anything else.

Thanks 🙂

It's been over 3 months since they received my form. I currently receive some PIP but this is due to my condition getting worse.

Hi there 

Impossible to say how long as diffetent areas have different wait times 

Some people wait couple months others longer than 6 months

Yes, it's quite difficult to say how long it'll be unfortunately @dawny69. It can take a little while. 

I'm sorry to hear that your conditions have worsened. Are you receiving any support to help you manage that?

Hi yes I have support from a local care team.

You could be in for quite a wait so my advice is try to focus on something else, though i know that's difficult.

That's good @dawny69 Do you find their support helpful?

Can I ask how long you waited after receiving that text please? Just received the same message

Hi THAAWT
I had my assessment via telephone on the 24th November. I didn't receive any notice just received the phone call. 
25th November received a text saying the report had gone back to DWP and now I am waiting to hear a decision.
Good luck with your claim 🙂

Thank you, not sure why but I can't see a date on when you posted about getting the text. Can I ask what date you received the text please?

Good luck with your claim too

Please also remember that timescales will vary greatly between each individual claimant. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.

From when the report is returned the timescale is up to about 12 weeks.

About your PIP review. The health professional has sent us their report.

We will make a decision on your PIP, but it may take 6 weeks before you hear from us.

You will continue to get PIP while your award is being reviewed.

You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.

Hi @dawny69

It is a frustrating wait, how have you been the last couple of weeks? 

dawny69

Hi Hannah
I'm not too bad thank you, hope you are well too.
Yes the waiting is frustrating, especially when your worried about the outcome 🤔

Hello @dawny69

Hopefully the festive season will take your mind off it a little, but I know saying not to worry is easier said than done.

I'm glad you are not too bad, I'm doing well thank you
