Morning all, Just wanted to know how others are getting on with PIP claims or could offer me some advice. I applied over the phone beginning of Sept. Had my telephone interview 2 weeks ago. Since then I'm struggling with my anxiety replaying over in my head. 
I've just received a text to say a decision still hasn't been made. Has anyone received this text and how long after was a decision made. Or does this mean its not going to be awarded 
Thanks in advance

    That’s quite quick to say you only applied in September. Decisions take 2-12 weeks after assessment, it’s not negative or positive.

    That's a standard text sent to everyone that gives a mobile number when they claim. Means nothing other than that.
    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.
