Hi all just want to say I had my telephone pip assessment last Wednesday it lasted a whole 7 minutes from beginning to end!!!!!!!!!
Which I must say was quite concerning 😟 but I woke up Thursday to a txt saying that they had received my written report and it could take 8 weeks for a decision then on the Friday i woke up to a txt saying I had been awarded pip have heard of some assessments taking well over an hr!!!!!! And people waiting the full 8 weeks for a decision just goes to show its just a lottery which thankfully I seen to have won but not recieved a payment yet so just have to wait and see..........
