Does Anyone know How long after the assessment, ( I'm having it on Monday 28th,)
do people have to wait long to get the decision, & if it gets stopped, can I appeal, & do they stop payments straight away? Even though I have numerous medical conditions & limited mobility, walk with two sticks, or walking trolley, Hip Dysplasia, Bursitus in hip, Fibromyagia, osteoarthritis, Rhumatiod arthritis, & kidney cancer, Sjorgrens, osteoporosis, pernious anemia, & ashma,
I'm worried that I will fail the face to face & become homeless, because the advisor who filled my form in for me hardly wrote anything down & told me not to send them any paperwork, cause they don't like it, I sent a couple of letters from my GPS & orthopedic surgeon, I've also just had hand surgery October 31st , so I have limited use of my hand to,
Thanks,

It's at the back of the PIP Claim guide.

PIP Decisions have been taking 7-8 weeks although the time is starting to come down again.
If you don't receive an award then your DLA will continue for a further 4 weeks after the Decision is made. Any Decision made on your PIP claim is appealable.
