PIP decision time after assessment

Hi Everyone,
I wondered if anyone has any up to date timescales in regards to decisions after your assessment. I had my telephone appointment today, and they did state it could be anything up to 8 weeks, they've told me this before when I called too. However, I understand these can vary (and yes, I know they're impacted by workload of the decision maker) but I just thought I'd ask on here to get an idea of how long people have waited recently.
I was on the phone for nearly 2 hours, god it was exhausting.
My claim started in June, what a long process!!
Any experience in this department is welcome

Hi @AimeeT and welcome to the community. Well done for getting through that phone call, I'm not surprised you were exhausted!
Hopefully it won't be too much longer to wait as @calcotti says. I wish you good luck for it, we'd love to hear how it goes when you hear back!

Thank you.I received the text this morning to say they had received my report and they’ll write to me once they’ve made a decision within 8 weeks so I’ll update for others once I’ve heard something ?

Hi Aimee I just received the assessor report today
just awaiting the award letter now it’s horrible the waiting isn’t it @AimeeT
Have you asked for the copy of assessor report to get an idea what there recommendations were

Hi @danixxx, I haven't as of yet. Can I do it this early after they've received it?
It is awful waiting, I'm trying not to dwell on it but these things always send me into a bit of a panic state -
Yes I requested mine the day they received it am the same although I now have an idea untill it’s finalised I can’t settle
let me know how you get on good luck @AimeeT -
I'll give them a call today then and request it, how long did it take for yours to come through and how long have you been waiting since your assessment so far?
I'll definitely keep you updated, would love to hear how it goes for you too -
It's worth saying that some people find requesting the assessor's report makes their anxiety worse @AimeeT, so it's worth having a think about how helpful you'd find it to have it
Best of luck with your claim! -
I called
friday morning and received it yesterday so only 3 working days wait,from assessor report looks like standard for both elements daily living and mobility but we shall see what the decision maker says ?been advised on here they tend to go with assessor reports but very rare they change it we shall see

Username_removed said:DWP won’t be fully operational again until the middle of next week. Fully operational isn’t really that at present. I wouldn’t be concerned so much with speed as accuracy.
I’m definitely with you on the accuracy over speed, I also sent off more evidence that contradicts what the assessment report claimed so that could be a reason why mine is taking longer than others -
Based on other members timescales it can take as long as 3 months for the MR decision.

They tell everyone 8 weeks, it's just a standard text.
