    Hello and welcome @jan100 How are you today? Good, I hope!

    Ah I'm sorry to hear you're having a long wait for the decision. When did you apply? Generally it takes between 8-12 weeks I believe for a decision to be made, but it can be longer. Fingers crossed you hear something soon.

    For your info: I've slightly amended the title of your thread and moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA category to help others with a similar query find it easily.

    Best wishes and please let us know how you get on.

    There are backlogs with AA decisions at the moment so all you can do is continue to wait. When did you apply?
