It should take 3-5 working days from the date of decision. This wasn't the case for me as they made a royal !!!! up so ended up taking two weeks.0 -
What a surprise they screwed something up not like that's the case with the whole PIP process.
Thank you0 -
I have been awarded PIP this week. I applied back in October finally had my assessment with NHS Lanarkshire on 19th of March, DWP received my report on the 20th of March, decision made on 27th March it was really slow process up to the point I had my assessment but it was pretty fast after my assessment I think this is due to NHS Lanarkshire doing the assessment for ATOS due to there backlog.
I got the award I believed I should receive. I hope after the longs delays and wait you get the award your waiting on.0 -
just an update on mine, awarded enhanced on both, such a long process but at least good news now, fully back dated to date i made clain money in the bank for the 8th, good luck to all with there ongoing claims0

35 weeks since applying, 5 weeks since assessment and Atos are still auditing, recieved a letter from mp last Friday saying that she had wrote to Ian Duncan smith and dwp.0

mine was in auditing for 17 weeks total disgrace!!! call them every single day like i did the last couple of weeks, also for it to finally be sorted I called and said I am authorising Dominic Littlewood from bbc to discuss my claim and you must put a note on the system as he was out today and will be calling you in the next couple of days, surprise surprise I called back the following day and it was sent fully to DWP0
