    Don't be surprised if you're not waiting a while. Times vary accross the country depending on backlogs etc. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have a paper based decision. My review last year took 4 months ish and i had a paper based decision. Good luck.

    Oh god �� the wait for my pip was hurendous time I went through ... I was hoping this would be a few weeks of hell not months �� ...

    I live in the south west so I really don’t know ?

    My pip was a paper based decision and they have the same sort of evidence but then pip is completely different to esa so it’s anyones guess .

    Thanks for your help along the way poppy ... it’s been invaluable and a little comfort in such dire times ��
  • ESA received by assessment people 06.06.2017
    Still waiting to see if I've been awarded a group or need f2f assessment 02.10.2017

    They did they m they have received all report just waiting for decision from assessment doctor,
  • :( nice to meet you

    It’s not going to be quick at all by all accounts .. I could be waiting till we’ll after Xmas !!

    Just need to try and forget about it I think but that’s just not easy

    Really can’t understand why they would put vulnerable people through this for so long obviously they have a back log but it seems pretty bad

    THANKYou poppy ... would like to think because it’s a reassement and not a new claim it would be quicker but I guess we’re all just in a que regardless of the nature of the claim
