Good Morning,

I wonder if anyone could advise please ?

How long after review form has been returned, do you receive an appointment for an assessment ?

I won’t be able to cope mentally with a f2f so what choices do I have ?

Thank you.

Hi Kelly,

I'll try my best to assist. You usually find it's months after filling in your form before you're assessed. Sometimes, it can even run past a year. One of my PIP assessments, I started the claiming process in 2020, and didn't get my assessment and award till 2022!

You have face to face, video call (like Skype type of thing) telephone call, or a paper assessment usually as your options I believe.

If you follow the guides on this website, they'll help prepare you for whichever you decide is best. Never too early to start learning - there's a mountain of things to try and get your head around.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Chris.

I was told earlier this week during a call that the backlog is 24 weeks.

Hi Blueberry Owl,

Well that's good in a way, as it shows that the backlog they had, is starting to decrease. :)
