Had my first ever PIP assessment via Telephone on Monday 19th which lasted 47 mins.
90 mins later had Text from DWP to say they had received my assessment .
Is this usual and is it a good / bad sign ?

Hi Fencehouses
It is nothing to worry about, numerous members would wish their assessment was as quick.
Now you have the text from DWP saying they have received your assessment contact the DWP and ask for a copy of the assessors report called a PA4.
The report will give you a good idea if you will be awarded any PIP, it also gives you the chance to address any errors in the report before a decision has been made by writing to the decision maker pointing out the glaring errors and why.

Rang DWP today 1st attempt at 1035 in morning but had to hang up after 26 mins .Rang again at 16.30 and after 50min got through and asked for my PA4 report which they are sending out via 2nd class post .
I did ask if they could let me know the outcome but obviously they said they couldn't as the outcome relies on more than just the assessment ?

Hi Fencehouses
Well done for your perseverance in getting your PA4. The PA4 gives a good indication of the likely outcome, any glaring errors you can point them out to the decision maker before a decision has been made.
The Decision maker makes the financial decision but they usually go by what the assessor has written.
