TOPIC: PIP award

PIP award 3 years 7 months ago #117167

We have just received out first decision on a PIP application. Awarded enhanced for daily living and mobility, backdated to date of application.
All down to your guide so many thanks.
However, it is almost 7 months from application to decision. Is this a record??

Hi c,

That is good news, enhanced for both components as well !!!

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated.

I don't know whether 7 months is a record, but it is most certainly unacceptable.

Hi there, sorry to say its not a record, we applied in July and only went for an assessment last week and have to wait another 8 to 10 weeks for the decision.
