As mentioned on another thread of yours the backlogs were long before the lockdown so that's not really news.

Yes it was me.
I posted it on another thread but I was replying to poppy12345 comment about that being about the  backlog before the lockdown, so it was old news.
Nowhere in that article does it mention before the lockdown it states dates of april 27 and may 4  .

Yes i know it doesn't state anything like that in the article that you posted but you've totally misunderstood my point. My point was that backlogs are still backlogs and they were there before the lockdown was even put into place. The lockdown hasn't changed anything regarding backlogs.

I also believe that your PIP phone assessment is coming up which was extremely quick considering you haven't long returned the form, i don't see any backlogs with your claim, therefore i rest my case!

Had phone assessment nice lady twenty five minutes wow. She either didn't like me, thought I was a time waster or was checking that the amount of paperwork I sent confirmed I was a deserving case of the benefit who knows.
