Long wait for PIP assessment was created by Rebecca
Hi

I have finally received an appointment for an assessment on the 10th Feb, I submitted my forms the 1st week of October so possibly looking at around 6 months for a decision! Is this normal? Has anyone else waited this long and what would cause the hold up?

Many Thanks

Hi Rebecca

I would not say it was normal, but it is not unheard of on this forum. I have no idea as to what would cause the hold up apart from a backlog.

Good luck with your assessment, check out our guides before you go, page 75 onwards.

I waited 7 months and after the f2f only a fortnight for the decision no reasons as to why the wait
