Hi I am just looking some information I applied for PIPS on the 9th of October 2017. I recevied a letter for a face to face interview in mid november but got a phone call from them that week saying that they had enough information from my gp as i suffer depression, anxiety, epilipsy and panic attack. I phoned them on the 19th december and they said it is in with the decision makers. Does anyone know how long it could take for s decision.

Please please let me know if I can provide you with some more????? -
Hello,
I understand the decision can take 12 weeks so don't worry too much. (That seems to be after the assessor sees you which in your case would have been November so February time is when it should happen.) If you had DLA before yiu carry on getting that until the decision.

Hi @belfast555
It can take around 8 weeks but it is always worth giving them a call to check up on it.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.Scope
