    It depends how big the back-log is in your area, we are seeing more and more that the average claim can take upto 10 months from start to finish.

    I applied for PIP in June 2021 and have just received notification that my telephone assessment is next Thursday. So about 4 months for me so far but I hear some people have waited double this time.Ā 

    Edit: I live in Birmingham. Different areas may have a longer back logĀ

    My most recent claim was a review of an existing award, but that took four and a half months from the date I sent the paperwork back to them to recieving a date for a telephone assessment.Ā Ā
