Now, remember when you have your assessment to treat it like a job interview. If you want help with what to do, message me

It's kinda scary how long it's taking people, a claim put in today looks like it would take till September to go through then most likely be turned down.

I applied in September- 2 cancelled appointments in Feb and early March (after almost daily phone calls to them) eventually saw someone last week. I've started phoning re the checks already...
Over 6 months already

I dread to think what will happened in October 2015 when DLA claimants are starting to be transferred over.

I was actually in receipt of DLA top rate of mobility, but it ran out and I never received a reminder. I was advised that I could not reapply for DLA and had to apply for PIP as they were taking no new DLA applicants.

Hi Serendipity, looks like we're at the same stage- I applied for PIP in September and finally had my Atos appt last Thursday. I wasn't sure when to start chasing so interesting to see it may not be too soon already.
