Is this 'normal '?
Fed up waiting that's all.
Thanks again

Hi D,

I am afraid that there is no "normal" in the PIP Assessment process, it has slowed down considerably since New Year.

I would not say it was abnormal but would be most surprised if someone actually rang you back !

I am happy to be proven wrong though !

I DO NOT BELIEVE IT !! JUST GOT MY AWARD LETTER AND BEEN AWARDED ENHANCED PIP FOR BOTH ELEMENTS ! I WAS ON DLA . .
I started my PIP claim before Christmas. I had my home visit about 4 weeks ago
OH THE RELIEF !
If not for the guides and help and support available here I doubt i would have been successful.I also have an excellent supportive GP.
Thankfully the system has worked for me and the correct decision reached.A fair one.After reading all the horror stories I was convinced I would lose it all.
I must say that DWP did treat me kindly and with respect whenever I had dealings with them.
Thanks so much for the help everybody and very good luck to all of you.I will remain a paid up member here always.

EXCELLENT
How long is the length of the award?

Hello, one last one from me .Somebody on here asked how long my award is for ..
well , I am awarded Enhanced rate for both components indefinitely . They have told me I will likely not be contacted for a certain number of years which I do not wish to reveal exactly on here but suffice to say it is a VERY long time ! When i look at the date on paper it looks utterly futuristic and crazy ! I rang them to confirm the date .
Again, i advise any person thinking of paying for a membership here ,do it ! The guides are priceless.
Thanks again to the advisers here and for all the support.Good luck folks and goodbye for now.

Hi D,

I gather that you were given "Ongoing" awards as the term "Indefinite" is not used for PIP Awards.

"Ongoing" PIP awards are the nearest equivalent to "Indefinite" DLA awards !!
