Hi, I am still awaiting my pip decision (it has been 5 weeks since my f2f assessment) anyway, I called the dwp to request a copy of my assessment 2 weeks ao and it has not yet arrived. Do you think I should call them to chase it up? I don't like hassling them but I would hate to think such a personal document could have gone astray! Any ideas how long it usually takes for them to send out copies of assessments?

It usually takes around 10 - 14 days to get the assessment report. It will not hurt to phone and give DWP a nudge if it does not arrive soon. You can follow it up in writing if you want to make sure there is a paper trail.

Really annoyed! I called the DWP this morning as it has been a fortnight since I rang for a copy of my assessment and she said it has not even been posted out yet! I asked why and she said they are short staffed and have a backlog but it has been passed on to the relevant dept and it should be sent out soon! I told the lady I was disappointed as I was initially told it would take around 10 days but she said there was nothing she could do!

So the wait goes on........ I have a feeling they are going to take longer notifying people of their awards too if they are understaffed and have backlogs! My assessment was 5 weeks ago so I was hoping to hear soon! I bet the DPW staff are all off on their hols now that the kids have broken up for Summer!

Sorry but I jave paranoid thoughts abd suffer from anxiety so rand dwp again today. The person I spoke to says she would chase up my pip assessment and ask for it to be sent asap. Do you think they are stalling it fir a reason? Usually people receive a copy within 10 days. It has been over two weeks and they still haven't even posted me a copy??? How much effort does it take to make a copy of a report and post it out?

I know from my own experience that it can be easy to seek hidden meanings in what the DWP do (or don't do) but the reality is that they are just incompetent most of the time.

Took my report 3 weeks to arrive. Try not not to stress yourself out about it everyone plays the waiting game. As the saying goes - You are not alone.
