hi im in the same boat ive had 1 text since they recieved my form on the 8th january and heard nothing since then ive also been given just 24 months to live whilst im waiting for open heart surgery that was 6 months ago im at my wits end im also in end stage renal failure so im really not doing well with the added stress this waiting is causing me

Hello and welcome to the community @sands7511. I'm sorry to hear that this is all causing you extra stress that you certainly don't need.
Unfortunately, PIP claims can take quite a few months to sort. Fingers crossed you hear from them soon so you can get your assessment sorted. Are you doing okay financially in the meantime?
Is your health being managed well by your medical team? Have you chased them about your heart surgery? -
yeah i attend dialysis 3 days a week waiting to speak to my surgeon to go through the final tests and then the surgery its all just a waiting game and very frustrating

I did ring the DWP on the 8th Feb and they gave the number for IAS who i called on the same day - just to make sure they had my file which they did. I followed the call up again on the 25th Feb - i just said coz of Covid the post is bad in our area, they said not to worry you will get a text message first. I got the message first no letter yet. I will update once i have had the assessment. -

@sarah1977 no I haven’t heard anything yet. I applied on the 17th November 2020 and they got my form on the 15th December 2020 so it’s been 23 weeks tomorrow and still not had a assessment or heard for a date for one yet.

Hope someone gets a ongoing 10 year light touch review

@tanya2595 & @sarah1977 i got my award on 6th April. I was pleased i got enhanced for both. The assessor was actually very nice and report was on point.
You have been waiting a long time. My assessor’s were IAS. I did call them a few times. My advice keep chasing them x -
@naila_007 my partner didn’t get chance to ring them today so he’s going to ring them tomorrow to see what’s going on. They just keep saying I’m in a waiting list and should be seen anyway now and then more time passes and nothing. 23 weeks atm I have been waiting and it’s IAS who are doing mine too

*anyday

My wait thankfully was only 6 weeks

My mum has been in receipt of the daily living for about a year and a half but her condition has worsened meaning she can no longer walk further than about 10 steps without having to stop and rest. I applied for her to be reassessed. So far its been 18 weeks to hear anything. We have now finally received an appointment for a telephone assessment on 11th May.

I applied on I applied for PIP on the 7th November. I sent my forms back and received 4th December. I got a random call last Monday from an assessor with no appointment who said she can write a report without an assessment just needed to clarify meds. Any ideas how long now until I get an award letter?
