I've been waiting for assessment for ESA and PIP since beginning of October I've tried ringing etc but to no avail. Even my DBT therapist has called on my behalf but I'm no closer. Any suggestions

    the back log for PIP is horrendous i know people who are still waiting 18 months on for either a medical or a decision for PIP

    esa is taking longer that usual due to the other back log they have are you currently getting the assessment rate of ESA?

    you could always get in touch with your local MP get him/her to try give them a push otherwise it might be just a waiting game untill they get you im afraid
