Hi there i just recived a copy of my pip assessment and have been awarded 8-12 points and was told that I'd have a decision within the next 4 weeks as its been so long since i applied, i was just wondering if anyone had experienced something similar to myself x.

    Unfortunately there is no set timeframe for decisions, although its often within 8 weeks, its no guarantee. 

    It will differ from area to area and dependant on the caseload of the decision maker you are assigned to.

    Unfortunately its just a waiting game.

    Hi @s1993case - & welcome to the community. As Mark says, unfortunately there are no set timeframes, altho the average is about 8 weeks. Usually the decision maker goes along with the assessor's report, but not always. Please let us know if you have any other queries. :)

    Hello @s1993case and welcome to our online community.

    I hope it isn't too long before you receive your decision and will be keeping my fingers crossed for you :)

    As not to confuse you, I've changed the title of your thread and moved it to the PIP, DLA and AA category so it's better homed!  Please keep us updated with how you get on and good luck.
