Hello Maureen @maureen54, and welcome to the community. It is good to have you with us. I am not qualified to advise on PIP myself, but we have plenty of people here who can and if you can bear with us I am sure they will get back to you very soon.
Keep in touch.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard0 -

Hello Maureen,
It all depends on how busy they are in your area - I have heard members say one week and others say eight weeks. I hope you hear back soon. My face to face assessment was 3 weeks ago, really hope I hear soon.
All the best!1 -
Hi! I had my f2f on 3 January and hadnt heard anything! I phoned last week as had been 2 months and was put through to a case manager who was so apologetic as the decision had been made but something clerical had gone wrong! Worth a phone call.1

Hi - what are of the UK are you in?
I was told on the 22nd of February that my form was received the day before. THEN I was told on the 28th that it still hadn't been received. After convincing the woman I had been told that it had, she found it on my "account" but named incorrectly.
Rang again yesterday and they told me that because it was named wrong on their system that it sat for 11 days before being passed to a decision maker!!1 -
The call handlers can’t see much on their screens. If you request to speak to your case manager then they have more information.1

Sdoc94! You could go through security and then pass the phone to someone to speak on your behalf if that is a worry x0

I wonder if I should phone - as I had phoned yesterday and was told no decision yet. Seems very unfair I lost 11 days due to their error.
My deadline for decision according to DWP is March 29th.
What is the protocol do I ask the person who answers can I speak to my decision maker?0 -
I phoned last week and spoke to dm who told me my award and apologised and said would send letter out!! I phoned again yday as no letter and call handler said couldn’t see decision but letter had been sent day before! Letter came today yet call handler couldnt see anything! Ask if can speak to case manager as anxiety causing more distress xx0

It took 2 months for my mum to get her decision, every phone call I made I was told we're waiting for more information and then it changed to its with the decision makers.0

DLA should continue for 4 weeks after a decision is made then any PIP award will begin the following daymaureen54 said:Hi I was on low rate dla I had to apply fr pip I had a face2 face interview how long does it usually take for a reply and if I am awarded it do I get it backdated
