On a similar note - I understand that EVERYONE should have been contacted re Reassessment to PIP by the end of September 2017 - so the letter will soon be arriving through the letter box !!

Not quite. DWP have confirmed PIP won't be completed till end of 2018.

I sent my form back in April, had my F2F on 29th June and had my decision today - enhanced mobility and daily living.

I was transferring from DLA.

Hi i wonder if anybody could help I applied for pip back in 2nd June 2017 and I've waiting for nearly 45+ weeks. I've had the assessment and there still saying another 6 weeks has anybody had to wait this long. Or is this usual wait.

Some do yes. Now you've had the assessment you're almost there. There's no timescales for decisions, it all depends on backlog in your area.

You can ring DWP and ask them to send you a copy of the assessment report. This will give you some idea what the decision will be, as mostly they go with that report. Other than that, all you can do is wait, i'm afraid. Good luck.

Just to add my recently posted change in circumstances for existing pip is going to take months not weeks for another Atos meeting since I called pip to enquire timescales.
Interesting as 2016 change was an Atos meeting within a few weeks.

To add I since received a pip letter since my only returned phone call last week when I had a voicemail asking me to call and answer some evidence question.
Letter received late last week stating all evidence and written report have been submitted.
Pip decision 4 weeks max.
I hope I haven't risked any pip income as I answered honestly and submitted new medication info and m.s. progress ongoing nurses support etc.
If pip stays the same so be it if any increase that would be useful any decrease then maybe I could have not bothered keeping pip upto date

You can ring and ask for a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be. Even though no face 2 face assessment took place there will still be a report written out for you to see. Good luck.
