I Applied for pip on 20th October and I have sent the forms back to them but i am still waiting for a desion from them theyve only contacted me to say that they have received the forms would it be okay to call them on Monday to see what's going on as when I called them in October they said that it takes ten to twelve weeks to get a desion
Sorry about spelling mistakes any advice or information would be appreciated

Hi and welcome to the community
New pip claims are taking up to 10 months to complete
You will most likely have an assessment with health cars provider which will be what you are waiting for and there is around 6 month wait for these
They then do a report to send to decision maker and this can take up to another 12 weeks approx -
To clarify, doing the report is usually done within 24 hours of the assessment but for the Decision Maker to make a decision can take up to 12 weeks.janer1967 said:They then do a report to send to decision maker and this can take up to another 12 weeks approxInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
You were advised in your previous thread that timescales from start to finish is about 10 months. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/87257/new-to-pip-how-long-does-it-usually-take-to-get-an-assessment-or-decision#latestThe 10-12 week timescale you were advised is very optimistic, even in normal times.
