    Hi and welcome to the community 

    The average wait time is 10 months from start to finish so your claim has been dealt with quite quickly compared to some others 

    The wait for a decision is anything from 2 to 12 weeks the 8 weeks quoted is standard guidance

    Hello and welcome to the community @Vonny58, it's good to have you aboard. 

    You have waited quite a while it seems but unfortunately that length of wait is quite common at the moment. I hope that you do hear back soon though and you'll have to keep us updated about how you get on :) 

    Please feel free to have a browse of the community and get involved wherever you'd like.

    Thank you for all the answers . It seems so many people are claiming pip now. It’s just a worrying time waiting

    It is one of the contributing factors to delays, there has indeed been an increase in the number of claims being made according to the statistics.
