I applied for PIP in July 

Sent form back August 

Assessment 8th November 

Text report received 10th November 

Text confirming award 17th November and advised wait for letter 

I'm unsure on what rates and what components I've scored and been awarded as I now just have to either await payment and do the maths or wait for letter but I'm so excited that I was successful as I've spent a lot of time reading these threads and it's sad how long and unsuccessful the process can be and with mine being for personality disorders I wasn't sure I would be successful, 

Was told I'd scored myself high rate for both although my assessment went well and told she agreed I'm still concerned the descion maker might have other intentions, it's so hard not to worry and overthinking the process as it just takes so long, 

Looking forward to my back pay in time for Xmas I worked it out at around 18 weeks, 

Thanks for the threads guys they kept me focused, motivated, informative but also reminded me to keep things in perspective at times
