There's a section at the back of the PIP Claim guide that covers the assessment and the questions you are likely to be asked.

Telephoned Wolverhampton DWP to ask for copy F2F report. Was told it would take 7 days to receive.
The recorded message whilst waiting said PIP claims are taking 6 weeks to F2F then 2 weeks for decisions - must be wrong, mine took 11 weeks to F2F.

F2F medical report arrived within 3 days, think I scored 19 points care and 12 mobility, but awaiting confirmation from DM.
90% of report accurate.

Sounds promising, PIP Decisions are currently taking 2-4 weeks.

Received my PIP decision exactly 3 weeks after F2F and 21 points care and 12 mobility for "an ongoing period". Many thanks B&W, I've been a member for a number of years, your Guides are the best!
I wasn't sure what "ongoing period" meant, so telephoned the DWP to ask. It basically means indefinitely, but the DWP are not allowed to use that word these days.
I also telephoned to check on my ESA SG award, as I haven't been assessed since 2015. Apparently that award is "ongoing every two years". I asked what that meant and it basically means indefinitely but I might get asked to fill in a Questionnaire now and again.
