    When did you apply? I mean it's not really something that can be guessed because it seems to be different depending on many things so no way of telling? Some people have it in a couple of months others have been waiting since last year? It's all taking longer right now due to covid backlog :disappointed: sorry! Hope u r OK! And hope u have people around you to support you through the whole process because it can be hard work all the waiting and not knowing? Good luck @Neryspowles hope you get answers soon!!

    I have applied for PIP too
    Actually I have called them on the 8th of April then they sent me a form on the 21st of May I send them back on the 9th of June 
    But daily I'm telling my mind that I have to wait at least more 2/3 months to hear back anything because of the back log... if everything sorted early then this time I will be lucky but still keeping my patience level high :-)

    Hi Guys,

    Just to put in perspective I applied for Pip at the end of Novemeber 2020, and only last week been given an telephone assessment for this coming Friday. So in total I've been waiting 7 months / 31 Weeks to get an assessment from the time of applying.

    Also DWP have started stating that it take roughly 10 months to fully complete a PiP claim due to coronavirus but this depends on the area and who does your assessment. But just be prepared for a long wait with no contact from DWP till they give you that assessment.
    I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.
