    It's not usual for DWP to contact anyone for supporting evidence relating to ESA or DLA, I don't expect it will be any different for PIP!

    It's amazing how the intervention of an MP always comes just before you were going to be seen anyway isn't it?! A wait of 6 months or more for PIP assessment isn't unusual - unacceptable but not unusual.

    I received a letter about a audit on the Friday, then received one to say it had been completed on Saturday.. While at the assessment i was told to expect a wait of around 4-6 weeks for a decision. So hopefully after nearly 10 months of waiting, it should all be finalised soon.
