    Hi All

    at last after 40 long and arduous, stressfull weeks I have a decision!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Ok not exactly what I wanted but the report carefully worded and "fair" I dropped one leval due to an interpretation so I have to consider if I should appeal.

    BUT it was backdated and sorted.

    Applied August last year !!

    Good luck to one and all there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

    The lady was from the complaints department and has apoligised alot for obvious failings in my claim. It has been down to their faults that it has been delayed... She gave me her nunber and i can call if i wanted to escalate the complaint.. They are finally getting through them now.. really hope anyone still waiting are dealt with very soon.

    The old DLA claims used to take approx 12 weeks.

    These PIP claims are taking forever and costing thousands more to assess.

    Nice one, Duncan Smith.

    So I have waited 36 weeks for a decision and was told I won't hear anything until the 23rd. What a nightmare.
