    Hi Nat,
    It's a waiting game with pip
    Try and focus on other things if you can.
    I applied in June and had my assessment in August,  am still waiting for a decision.  
    From what I have read on here, (scope) it takes 12 weeks to get a decision.

    It takes up to 12 weeks for DWP to make a decision after getting the report, as you refer to in your post, so you might not get a decision until after Christmas. You may get it sooner,

    Welcome to the community @natalee :) 

    It's really difficult to say exactly when you'll get your decision, unfortunately, as it varies quite a lot. 

    Is there anything you can do to help to keep yourself calm while you wait?
