PIP review times

Hi SallyT

We used to be able to give people approximate times, but these days it is impossible to be accurate. At best, You could wait at least another month before you hear anything and at worst, you could be waiting many months. We have some members who have waited over a year from submitting their review form to having an assessment, and the worst we've heard is eighteen months. I'm sorry not to be able to give you a clear picture, but it is so variable on what type of assessment you might have, whether the DWP requires extra information, the availability of assessors ... The best we've heard is eight weeks in total and the worst has been 18 months. Let's hope you hear soon. You can always ring and ask the DWP what the status of your claim is and they may be able to give you an update on waiting times.
