Hi and welcome
You are not alone other members have said they applied in November and Dec but still waiting for an assessment
Depends on area and backlogs
Some people ring up to ask and get lucky and get a cancellation

Thank you for getting back to me, I totally understand the backlog and I guess I just have to wait and hear but I can't help thinking I have I missed the letter, constantly chevk emails or Im I not going to get it...that my anxiety
Thank you -
Hi @Mary1972 - & welcome to the community. As Jane says, unfortunately some people are waiting quite a long time before they get a date for an assessment. Kindly let us know how you get on, & good luck.

Welcome to the community @Mary1972 It can certainly be an anxious wait for many people, but hang in there.
Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our PIP category and renamed it slightly so that it's easier for other members to find. -
I applied in Feb and just received my pip decision and backpay going in Friday
-
That is great news, did you have an assessment over the phone?
-
I completed a pip form late March had a phone call out the blue 8th June I think it was an assessment, asked me lots of questions and she was really helpful saying think about my husbands worse day's. She then said we should hear something in about 3/4 weeks and they might review brian again in another 12/18 months so not sure if we have been awarded PIP
-
I have been waiting over 9 weeks for the decision regarding my p.i.p assessment and it is making me feel anxious and worried do you know how long it will take please
-
Im on week 21 since my form went in, I think its a waiting game, its in mt head everyday but have got used to the fact it will be a long time before you hear back. Some people are waiting between 6 to 8 months for the assessment
-
Hi Mary, I applied on 18th January, and still not heard anything yet just a nightmare the waiting game
-
Hi Mary
I applied back in the middle of January and received a cal out of the blue last Friday from assessor. I was only on the phone for 15 minutes and she was very nice ?
hooing I don’t have to wait another 2 months but who knows really!! -
There is just a lot of backlogs at the moment which is evident from people posting on here.People waiting for assessments that applied in November and December are just seeming to get their assessments now.The assessor who said a decision would be made in 3/4 weeks time should not be saying that. It’s highly unlikely as they don’t know the workload of the case managers.

Hi @Mary1972
I'm sorry to hear you still haven't heard anything. As you can see from other members' responses, you aren't alone and delays are being experienced by lots of people across the country too I do hope it isn't long for you now, and you too @xjamesx
@EKB2013 I'm glad you had a smooth assessment and have my fingers crossed for the outcome, please let us know how you get on.

It isn't normal to get a call without warning
If you di they have done a paper based assessment and are just asking few things to clarify
A full assessment will be arranged and you will be given notice of the date and time -

yes I assumed I must have had a paper based assessment as she only asked a couple of questions and I was not on the phone for long. -
Just a quick update, its now been 22 weeks today from the start of my claim. I rang the assessment centre 3 days ago and got told my claim had been progressed up to - awaiting a assessment date....
I asked if I could be considered for a cancellation but non were available. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for the assessment date. -
Thanks for the update @Mary1972, yes hopefully not much longer.

Just an update on my new PIP claim for anyone wondering about waiting times - North East area. Filled in paperwork in January and I'm having a telephone assessment on 19th July 2021 some 25 weeks after my first call to DWP. A little nervous for the call but happy to be eventually getting my assessment and hoping to hold it together so I can explain my daily struggles
