                    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.

            Area: Liverpool
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....Everything I know, I've learned from Judge Judy.

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.0 -
