Thought it might be useful for us all to share our timescales so far. I know we've got a fab support thread going, but it can be difficult to look at people's timescales amongst all the talking (not that I'm complaining!) and I know that's what a lot of people are interested in.

I'll start:

Area: Nottingham

Application Date: 29th Jan 2014 DLA Migration: no back pay for me :(

F2F: Capita 11th June 2014

Sent to DWP: 27th June 2014 - been told I have to give them 5 weeks

Decision Date: 15th August 2014 (rang them - again) Standard rate for both until 2017.

    F2F: No appointment yet, or at any point in the foreseeable future, mainly as they haven't even started to look at my paperwork.

    Sent to DWP: See above
    There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.

    Applied for PIP: December 2013

    F2F interview: 10 July 2014

    Decision: Still waiting....

    When I attended my interview, the assessor said that he didn't have any of my forms, my application or my doctor's and consultants notes. The interview lasted 2 hours.

    So, i'm kinda expecting a rejection as the assessors wasn't able to find any info that I sent....

    My assessor didn't have any of my reports or my completed form with him either so based his report solely on the answers I gave to his questions and watching me 'get around'. I was lucky tho as he seemed to know the right questions to ask and I was awarded LRC & HRM. Good luck and I hope you hear soon.
