    Capita are doing them in some areas, instead of ATOS and can be painfully slow - you can ring and check the progress, but it's really just a question of waiting.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    It is Capita, I cant believe there are no SLA's in place. It is at 15 weeks from initial call if I wasnt working he would have starved and we are getting in a financial mess because of having to get him to appointments

    It is now 30 weeks since I applied for PIP, and 19 weeks since I had my medical assessment, and I still haven't had a decision !!!
    Its amazing how these banks can't even do simple calculations correctly..............

    It might in principle be interesting for someone undergoing a PIP decision to request all paper and electronic records held regarding actions taken on their claim, to see where the delays are.
    This is free.
