II am 68 was awarded DLA indefinitely, now had to apply for PIP.
How long does the process take and am I likely to have a face to face medical. The money I receive ( lower ) does help with things I need with my health problems. I'm very worried though am lucky to have a very good husband with whom I couldn't manage without.

I would estimate the process taking about 26 weeks at the moment as there are considerable delays in the assessment part of the PIP process at the moment.

I think it very likely that you will have a face to face assessment.

Please have a look at our PIP Claim guide to help your through the process and the claim forms.
