F2F & Decision Timescales

My daughter had her F2F last Thursday, 9th March - as of today the DWP are still saying they have not received the report - I will be calling Capita tomorrow to confirm whether or not it has been sent.
In the meantime I wondered at other peoples waiting times between F2F and ultimate decision

Well, rang them this morning - Paperwork is still with the Assessor - I asked whether they could give me any idea of the timescale, they might as well of replied as Poppy12345 above, 'how long is a piece of string!'
Getting a little peeved tbh - You would think that the process would have timescales imposed by now :mad:

This is the DWP that you are talking about. One of if not the most disorganised and inefficient government departments that exists.
People wait months if not years for the process to finish. A few years back I must have sent them at least a dozen letters followed up by phone calls over a 9 month period and never received a reply back from them. Then as soon as I contacted my MP within weeks I had a reply in full!!0 -
How does the PIP system work going forward?
What I mean is my son's got an award until 2021, will he have to reapply and go through another F2F then or is it a case of us declaring nothing has changed and carry on claiming?
In light of the planned changes to PIP can the DWP ask for a reassessment or another F2F at any time they wish too?
Some information here

I don't have much experience of PIP reassessments as it's still relatively new. My guess is that they will do F2Fs in most cases - hopefully, though, common sense will prevail,where it is clear conditions are unchanged - or, indeed, worse0 -

Think I've posted on the other thread where I advised contacting Capita to chase up... but you've now done. I suspect this might be held for auditing.. there can be little explanation otherwise as to hold up. Also because of the details of this assessment I would take a punt that the HCP in question is either new and/or going to attract 'internal attention'.. this may be relevant to hold up."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0

Yes you did, I think, maybe her knowledge of my daughters condition could in fact impact on the assessment - she was extremely knowledgeable and practical about the assessment!
That would be typical ................... Assessor qualified to access .................. internal enquiry instigated!
