PIP Timescales?

Have you asked for a copy of your report? That seems to be the general advice that I have seen, as it gives an indication of the outcome but also you have it there ready if the outcome isn't what you expect.

They will only send the report before a decision is made if you live in the UK. Those that live in N. Ireland have to wait until a decision's made.

I haven’t asked for the report yet. I think I will though. I’ll call them tomorrow and report back x

There's no timescales for decisions. You can request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the report.

Must be dependent on where you live (my medical wasn't with crapita)

I applied for PiP on 3rd December. Got the form and returned it within 3 days. Very quickly I received a letter with the date for my PiP assessment in early January. Today I received the PiP decision.

Less than 2 months from start to finish (not including the appeals process I'm just about to start......)

I got a letter a couple of Saturdays ago saying they now had all the information they needed and would write in due course etc. Only took 12 days from then to get the decision.

Was yours' a review or a first-time application like me? I think I stood no chance of Capita being that swift as the DWP still haven't received my report but I guess it has only been 10 days.

I returned my daughters PIP review form back 8 weeks ago. When i rang DWP at the beginning of the week, i was told the form is still with the DWP :eek: so, i have no idea what's going on there.



I did send in multiple reports from the community mental health team, ASD assessment report, Care plan, proof of daily supported taxi to college, as well as 4 pages of extra information related to how her conditions affect her for each of the descriptors that apply. Will she need a face to face assessment i ask myself. Time will tell i guess.



Good luck with your claim.

Wow, I would have thought that reviews were quicker but I guess not! :eek:

No, not for my daughter anyway. When i first applied last year (yes a year before review) less than 2 weeks after returning the form i had a letter for a face 2 face assessment.

First time assessment.

It must depend on the area
