Advice request re PIP

hi guys,
just a quick update on my situation.
after my last report on here i did some looking around the forums in here for any other advice and found something that i think is the hoy grail as far as atos is.
its was a little post from a profesional offering the email of atos's top guy!!!!
i emailed him emmiediatley, late on a friday night.
he replied at 8:30 monday morning appologising and said he would look into it asap.
well, coincidance or he was true to his word, i got a letter two days later telling me my assessment for pip would be on jan 6th!!!!!
the magic email address is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
try it guys, youve got nothing to lose!!
i had my assessment, and it went very well, im now just waiting for a decsion.
does anyone have any idea on how long the decision takes after youve had your assessmnt??

Hi MF,

The DWP have been very slow thus far in giving decisions on PIP.

Many claimants who were assessed in June/July last year are still awaiting or have only recently received a decision.

Please do keep us updated.

Hi MF,

These long waits for a decision are totally unacceptable.

M.P.'s are well aware of this problem, and if your wait becomes unacceptable, you could complain to your M.P. :

Contacting your MP

If Capita carried out the assessment you can complain as follows:

In writing :

Capita PIP
PO Box 307
Darlington
DL98 1AB

If it was ATOS, you can complain via their website :

Good Luck !!!
