I applied back in Ocober after coming out of hospital after 3 months in due to a lung collapse and Capita only last week (when I rang them) told me they would now start to look at me case and that they had a huge backlog of cases so it sounds like we are in the same boat jasmin1.
I was told by someone a few weeks ago another time when I phoned that they we're still dealing with cases from Sept.

It does feel like they are sort of hoping we just die on them sometimes doesn't it
Hi I applied in June of 2013 and finally heard from them in December 2013, some people say you get a phone call if you havent got it and if you dont you will have got it, hope you hear something soon Julia x
I put in a claim for DLA March 2013 I was turned down it took me 5 weeks to get the reason why very poor they said they had written to my GP but could not produce any evidence I sent them my last breathing test which shows I'm level 4 and asked them to look at it again they said they would and it would take 11 weeks that time ran out on the 12th December 2013. I went to the job centre they rang and they were told they had not received the GP's report I phoned the GP to be told they sent it back on the 12th November 2013 so now I have to go back to the GP for another report take it to the job centre and they will fax it to them. Anyone with a ounce of sense could Google COPD look up level 4 I have written to my MP asking him for the rules to be changed and anyone with a lung condition to be fast tracked after all our COPD will never improve.
I applied in June and it was December before I heard. I did get my MP involved, who I have to say was brilliant. I found the whole thing very stressful. Good luck I hope you hear soonx

I've had DLA for 3 years due to my epilepsy and when it as due for renewal I submitted a DLA form in June. A month later they sent it back and said I had to apply for PIP. My PIP claim went in in august and I am still waiting. I phone ATOS who say it's with the assessor ( has been for 3 months now). I'm still waiting. I hope I get my back payment x
I am sure I read somewhere that PIP/DLA are a minimum 6 months backlog. This is it seems a cunning plan to keep the figures low and give us all the impression that savings are working!
I been refused pip after waiting 11 months, I put in a claim last july with having mild asthma and moderate copd,plus sciatica and mild scoliosis I'm just thinking now if I should appeal or just leave it!
