Hello all,
Just looking for advice on pip. I sent my pip2 form back on the 6th of may. My mum rang pip this morning ( 24th of may) they still havent uploaded my forms on to the system. I applied for the first time on the 18th of February. Can anyone advise on how long you waited for a response that they had received your pip2 form and supporting evidence please?
Thank you.

Hi there
There are huge backlogs that is why they have extended return of forms to 3 months
All you can do is wait unfortunately -
Thank you for your response.
It's really frustrating isnt it? I did actually wonder why they had given me a date in june to return the pip2 form. I thought it must have been an error. I am just a bit concerned that after almost 3 weeks my forms and evidence havent even been uploaded. I dont mind waiting for the assessment. I just have no idea if they have even received my paperwork. -
If you gave them a mobile number they sometimes text to say they have recieved them
Mine took 3 weeks to scan on and that was before the backlogs -
Yh I have put my mobile number on.
That's reassuring that you didnt hear for three weeks before all this. I'm new to this process so I'm unsure of it all. Perhaps I just need to be more patient.
How did you find the whole process? -
They estimate around 6 months for the whole process but some are quicker some longer
Don't expect anything fast people on here applied in dec and still waiting for assessments but othersapplued later and had a decision
The process can be stressful but my experience was OK got awarded first time and had a review which got higher award
Try not to read all the horror stories as people who are successful rarely come on forums to say that it is the ones who have issues that report on forums
Good luck let us know how you get on -
Thank you.
Yh I new it would be a long process. I was just so worried that nearly 3 weeks and the forms wasnt uploaded yet. I've never applied for any benefits before. I'm suffering from a form of long covid. I work in the healthcare sector and caught covid at work during a major outbreak over the december period. There doesn't seem to be much advice about the points they award for the aids you use either.it seems very hush hush.
Hopefully they will upload it soon and it's another part I've got through.
Thank you for your advice. -
Another factor it seems is location and which office is dealing with your claim. I applied at the beginning of December last year and had my phone assessment at the end of May this year. Still awaiting a decision which they now say can be 8 weeks plus! So my claim is looking at around 8 months not including if I have to do a MR etc which will take it into 1-2 years!I’m in the north east of England but I have spoke to others down country who applied after me and have their awards already! Seems like a lottery tbh. You could try wringing to your MP about the shambles that PIP seems to have turned into!But good luck with your claim and if you need any help or advice they are a friendly lot in here
