    Yes, waiting times can be quite long for some people at the moment @mookie. 

    If you didn't keep a copy of your form, it might be worth taking a look through the PIP descriptors again to jog your memory. Some people find it helpful to make some notes prior to their assessment.

    Hi there! I didn't wait too long, but was refused again 3 times in 9 years. Waiting for a MR. Don't suppose I'll get it.

    No particular condition qualifies you. It’s not based on condition/diagnosis, it’s based on how you are affected. Different people with the same condition will be affected differently.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
