Good luck!! How was the assessment? Waiting is the hard part I think

Welcome to the community @andysimpson2 How did your assessment go?Â
Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our PIP category, and tweaked the title so that it'll be easier for other members to find. You can see our other categories of discussion on the categories page. I look forward to seeing you around! -
After noon @andysimpson2 welcome to our great group - it's the waiting game now i'm afraid so try and keep your mind distracted so the time goes quicker.
-
Thank you everyone for your lovely replies. The assessment seemed to be really positive but you can never tell. The person doing the assessment doesnât make the decision so who knows.ÂWhat happens now?

Are there only 2 rates of both components of pip? If you have birth conditions do they award any pip for a reasonable period? Iâm 51Â
-
yes just 2 rates for both components, I don't know the other question though I'm afraid
-
The maximum PIP award is an âongoingâ award which means it will be reviewed after 10 years.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
-
as a follow on question, do they inform me when they have my report or will the next thing i hear be the decision which ever way?
-
If you put a mobile number down when filling out the form then yes, they often send a text once the report has been received.
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. -
thanks poppy, had the call friday no update in terms of the report being received yet. how long does that tend to take?
-
Sometimes it's returned within 24 hours of having the assessment. If there's a delay returning it then it could be in audit. If this has happened it's nothing for you to worry about, they are just checking the assessor did their job properly.

Still nothing. I hope no news is good news in this case đ«°
-
If it's in audit there's no timescales how long it will take. The decision can't be made until the report is returned.

Thank you for all your replies. Iâve had a text saying they have received my report and I should hear in 6 to 8 weeksÂ

then you think one month, I cannot be bothered to appeal, and just give up.
If a claimant is refused, you actually have 13 months to challenge that decision, with good reason. If DWP refuse your late request then simply take it to Tribunal.

Some members are saying they've received a text to say they've been awarded and they should receive the decision letter within 2 weeks. Texts like this are quite a new thing. Though i've not heard of anyone having a test to say they've been refused, which is only natural.

Does a quick response often mean a refusal? How long is this bit likely to be?
