well 'odd' to us anyway.
she was previously on 'lifetime DLA' for a whole multitude of physical problems. however now its all changed she had to have a medical (home visit) with ATOS for 'PIP', this medical was almost 3 weeks ago now, and today she recieved a letter from the DWP saying something along the lines of 'sorry it is taking longer than usual to make a decision, we have all the report and evidence and will be in touch soon'
she was told it would take between 6-8 weeks, so how is under 3 weeks ''taking longer than usual''?
she has been stressing out alot over it.
any ideas what this could mean? and why shes been sent a letter?

Up until the New Year Decision were taking 1-2 weeks they have slowed since then but we would still expect then to 3-5 weeks.
