P.I.P. timescales...

SingleSue

Finally got my assessment date through this morning. ..next week and a home visit rather than travelling to the nearest centre. I hadn't specifically asked for a home visit but had said on the form that travelling too far would be difficult pain and concentration wise, so it would be handy if the centre was not too far away.

Applied last September and after reading everyone else's posts and my experience with youngest, it's not too bad a timescale.

Hope all goes well, Sue. Any news on youngest yet?

Been told 3 to 4 weeks wait for a decision. They have all they need and could see the documentation on the system, so just waiting for a decision maker here too

They can do wot they want I contacted my mp last night maybe he can do something to hurry them iup I've got a letter saying they have all the information they need sorry for the long wait from the decision maker dated 16 then they said on phone they didn't get all information until the 23rd they are full of crap :mad:

Was it 1st April you had your assessment? If so I wouldn't expect a decision yet. As I said previously, it's taking 6 weeks from assessment to award. I agree that the different call centres tell you different things. I spoke to....Blackpool. Wrexham, Bridgend, Wolverhampton & Stockport. All gave me conflicting information. I do understand how stressful it is having to wait.

I rang because the atos lady had really upset me to be told they would tell me the desision would be made by the 23rd to ring them so I did as they said to be told they didn't get my doctors report until the 23rd and I've to wait another 6 week then to be told they were waiting on the second part of the atos report to ring them and chase that up again so I did to be put back threw to dwp to be told two weeks for a desision I don't know if I'm coming or going with it all at min it's driving me mad not ringing again it's making me more anxious than normal wouldn't feel like this if they didn't make me feel like I'm going crazy with different answers !!!:mad:

So i finally found out about my mandatory reconsideration! By a letter on the doormat. I have been awarded standard for both daily living and mobility until 2021!
Finally the ordeal is over - was hoping for enhanced DL but something is better than the nothing they were originally giving me.

Thanks to you guys who helped me xxx
Good luck to everyone else, remember it can be long journey - I applied 9th jan 2014 got the award 24th April 2015

I had my assessment on the 11th March, got the Decision on the 20th. Very quick I know - But I had MP involvement. I got the MR requested on the 23rd March, Gave them all the paperwork and extra info on the 13th April. Got a decision on the 23rd April. This is far quicker than normal as i had heavy MP involvement
