    Hi,

    There's no timescales to assessment waiting times but most people have another face 2 face assessment for a review. Some people wait weeks, while others wait months. It depends on backlog in your area. You're PIP will continue until a decision's been made.  Did you send evidence to support your claim? 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
