Hi @pete123 and a warm welcome to the community! I am sorry to hear this. PIP is unfortunately a completely different benefit to DLA. Do you need any support regarding your appeal? Many community members have been through this process so I am sure we would be able to help if you need anything at all

Hi I and still waiting to hear back about my PIP appeal it has been weeks now how long does the appeal take please.I have also been put on the sick because of ill health. I have had to go on universal credit because of a drop in my hours what a waste of time that is.

It can take a year in some areas for a hearing date. It all depends on backlog in your area. You can ring HMCTS and ask them approx how long it will be and they'll tell you.
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.
