PIP Mandatory Reconsideration timescale

24 Posts

Hi, I have read some posts on here regarding time scales for PIP reconsiderations and I wondered if anyone has had one recently in 2022 and can advise how long they had to wait? I'm in the West Midlands area. Thank you.

Between 2-12 weeks, sometimes longer. Backlogs are huge.
Initial application sent in July 2021 (acknowledged)
Assessment first week of January 2022 - with less than 24 hours notice
Decision mid-January 2022 - DWP / assessor hadn't contacted any of the relevant medical professionals and so assessment was wildly inaccurate.
To be honest, as someone who works in the public sector, I'm amazed they can get away with this.
