Today I attended my face to face assessment I was in there 1 hour 30 mins which seemed a lot to me. Anyone have any idea how long it takes for capita to send the report to DWP for the decision makers to make a decision
thanks

Hi,Leave it a week and then ring to request it. Decision times vary depending on backlog and can be anything between 2-8 weeks. Good luck.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.

Mine was a pip review and the assessor tried to ask me the same question four different ways but I kept strong and new what she was trying To do. I suffer with severe mental health issues so the wait will be very difficult for me.

With the Brexit situation I read recently that the EU has a long history of never accepting a referendum result if it goes against what the EU wants. They tell the country to keep on with the referendums until such time you get the result that the EU wants.
Maybe your assessor is following in their footsteps in that they didn't like the first three answers as they did not fit in with what they wanted you to say?

Stop send their report to dwp within a few days. At the moment do are taking 6-8 weeks to make a decision. You can make a subject access request for the atos report,,which must be sent to you within 20 days.
I'd advise you to do that as ATOS really haven't changed and the assessment notes are likely to be inaccurate. -
Not all assessment reports are inaccurate, you do have some HCPs who tell the truth but we rarely hear about them. If someone has a decision they're happy with they have no questions to ask. A lot of people claim PIP successfully without any problems.

Between the introduction of PIP in April 2013 and July 2018: 3,855,000 claims were registered by the DWP.
Of these they cleared 3,609,000 cases.
Of those that were cleared, 1,885,000 claims were in payment,
Of those that received an award 118,000 were for terminally ill claimants.
Thus for new and DLA transfer claims 1,767,000 were in payment
It doesn't take a mathematician to work out that those given any award excluding terminally ill claimants is running at less than 50% - 1,767.000 out of 3,609,000.
So from those figures (if I have quoted then correctly that is) it would appear that more claimants, excluding the terminally ill, are failing to get any award over those who do.

Reality is that PIP is running well over budget and most people (72%) are getting through without difficulty.
