    Hi,
    You don't say if this was a PIP assessment or a work capability assessment. Either way, you only had your assessment a week ago, it can take between 2-12 weeks for a decision.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I must admit, that's an extremely fast process so far. Some people are waiting several months for their assessment.

    Hi @Tiffxx9 :) thanks for joining the community. How are you today? :) 

    I'm glad that you've had your PIP telephone assessment, as I understand any assessment can seem quite daunting. I hope it went well for you. I'm aware that the DWP's decision can be made on a case by case basis and therefore, timings can vary between different cases. Hopefully some of our community members can provide an insight into their PIP claim experiences. 

    If you have any other questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to ask and I'm sure someone will be able to help out :)

    Just be aware that’s a standard letter they send and doesn’t really mean anything. At the moment people are still waiting between 2 and 12 weeks for a decision.
