I know the word is that it's about 18 weeks to wait for a decision after the interview. But has anyone waited longer than this please ? It's taking ages

    2-12 weeks is the general rule. How long have you waited so far?

    I know you feel like you have been waiting ages but some people wait several months for a decision, providing you are not transferring from DLA then all arrears will be paid from the date you applied. Only contact PIP once you have surpassed the 12 weeks, please do keep us updated and good luck.

    It's 2-12 weeks sometimes longer once the assessment report is returned. Sometimes if a report is chosen for audit it will delay the decision making process. Nothing more you can do but wait.
