    Hi bonnie and welcome

    Normally PIP decisions are 2-4 weeks after assessment.
    Have you asked for a copyy of the assessment report ?

    Hi
    thank you I was unaware I could request a copy of the report . It’s been 3 weeks now and am looking that it’s a bad sign .

    Hi bonnie,

    Try not to worry unnecessarily. I understand it's only natural to think negatively about these things but the length of time for a decision has nothing to do with it being particularly positive or negative. All the best.

    Hi, personally I had been waiting months for a return of my results. Please phone them and infirm them that if it takes beyond 2-3 weeks thenow a 'maladministration' form will be completed regarding the delay.  If they are being too long. Get the form and send it in. That'l help.

    Hi Bonnie

    PIP decisions can take around 4-6 weeks.

    Have you had  a decision yet?

    If not it maybe worth contacting PIP to point out that your DLA will end in the next week, and asking if there is anything holding up a decision being made on your claim.

    bonniebonnie,

    Very pleased to hear this. That's good news. Did you get a result on the daily living component as well?

    Will
