Pip processing info 21/02/ 2022 was created by lauren
Hi everyone, thought this might help some one if they are wondering about PIP current processing times.
My claim went in 5 weeks ago, in January. I hadn't heard any thing so I thought I would ring this morning,especially as I had sent in additional information.
The call handler told me my that Id sent in 'a lot of information' and that they had received the latest piece .She also said the info has just gone to the medical people a couple of days ago(Feb 18th).
She also said they had a '4 month' back log so it could be May when I hear something or get an appointment (eek).
She also told me interestingly that they have started doing more f2f interviews again and that they were sometimes doing video calls...
I am hoping for a paper based assessment due to breathing difficulties amongst other issues. Does any one know if this more likely given she stated said they had a lot of information?
Hope some of this helps x

Hi Lauren
Thank you for the timeline on your claim. It is impossible to take a view from what the call handler said to you about there being a lot of information to whether this means you will be given a paper-based assessment as call handlers play no part in the decision making process.

Thanks for the information. I'm changing from DLA to PIP, They received my Pip2 form at the end of November last year and I've heard nothing since. I'm assuming its because of the backlog. and also I'm still receiving DLA so perhaps they prioritise other cases first.
