    The timescales for decision can be anything from 2 to 12 weeks some even longer

    Thank you for that, it just seems unusual to me that I haven't filled out any forms I haven't given any proof I've got plenty but I just get that telephone call and that's it. their going to make a decision on that a 40 minute phone call.

    I agree it isn't the normal process they follow wait and see what the decision is and if not in your favour put this in the mr 

    Alternatively you could give them a call to see why this has happened

    Thanks I'll do that,  knowing my luck they'll probably say I'm fit for work and take everything off.me.

    You can’t be found fit for work when applying for PIP because it’s not about being unable to work. People claim PIP and work.

    Hi Poppy, thanks for that information ldid t know that. I was so worried about not having sent in specialist letters that I cloned them and ask them and they explain things to me so I'm a bit clearer on everything now.

    Sorry about the typos I am using my microphone as my fingers don't work very well to type. I don't think my microphone likes my accent because often I forget to read it and just send it's embarrassing. Lol.

    There's no need to be embarrassed @Melaniejayne64 :) We all make typos, and your comments have been easy to read, which is the important thing.

    I'm glad that everything seems a bit clearer now. Please do let us know if you have any further questions!

    Yes I know that now because I phoned pip the following day  and they very kindly explained to me why my case was happening the way that it is. They did ask me the name of my bank and Sort number I know that means  nothing so I'll have to wait and see what happens. Thank you for replying to me.

    Hi @Melaniejayne64 it must have been reassuring to have it explained on the phone call.

    I wish you all the best for a positive outcome, hopefully you'll hear soon :)
