Hi 
I know a lot of people ask how long does it take to get PIP
i applied on 24/3/21 and got back payment on Wednesday 30th and letter today…yahoo
so in total just over 6 months, so think I must be very lucky where I live, as see so many horror stories.
it is a 2 year award, so will get back on the horse in 18 months…thanks everyone.
I will keep reading though

    @Username_removed thanks Mike. I was slightly unsure about 2 years, as she has said I need review after both knees are replaced and I have rehabilitation, but not even close to having 1st one yet…so not sure
    what happens to your monthly PIP if you go for MR, is it halted?

    If ou request an MR your existing award continues while the MR is considered. Similarly if you appeal to the tribunal service the existing award continues until the tribunal decision is made.

    @Username_removed      No, I advised my spot on waiting list was on hold due to anaemia.

    Yeah I had thought as much…well that’s good news…the HCP who assessed me was an OT and seems very good at her job
    thanks Mike
