Is it normal to be waiting this long to hear anything?

in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
Hi, My names Rubin, I applied for PIP at the start of January this year (21) and still not heard anything, no letters, no text just nothing. I have phoned DWP who has said its been sent to the Medical Accessors but this was over a month ago and still nothing. Is it normal to be waiting this long to hear anything, as its been over 3 months now and not even had a letter stating I need an assessment or anything and just worried my form has been lost or something. Thanks.

    Unfortunately it is quite normal at the moment.

    Hi Ruben 

    It is quite normal there are backlogs currently 

    The process takes around 6 months but assessments are taking quite a while to take place currently

    Welcome to the community @rubinheath16 :) Have the above replies put your mind at ease at all? I hope that you're not waiting for too much longer.

    Thanks for the responses, I feel more at ease now. I was getting anxious thinking something has gone wrong or something with my form. Hopefully i'll hear from them soon but all I can do is wait.

    @rubinheath16 I sent off my form feb and had a call of capita 2 weeks ago. But I did phone capita myself and they gave me an appointment time and date on call
