WOW! That is absolutely amazing! From what I have read on the forum many members have waited for a nearly a year! You must live in the right area to get it through this quick?

I also want to wish you all the best of luck with your medical and I genuinely hope that you get the outcome that you desire and deserve.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Lucky you! Hope you're luck holds and you get awarded. I'm still waiting.. Applied March, no medical appointment yet. I heard they're accepting more based on medical prof views, I sent lots of letters & reports between GP and surgeon so I'm hoping I might be one of those!

Paula let's hope you get a good quick decision. I sent mine in Feb had assessment last Monday. I rang to ask how long & they said "should" be bout 3 weeks. I also asked if awarded would it be back dated, he said sometimes it is & sometimes not!!!!!! Good luck everyone who's gone through the ordeal of applying xxx

Hello to all, I am still on DLA, and have not gone into the PIP pit yet, ?will they send me the forms when it comes up to my turn, dont like asking for forms when they are not up to my name!. I have read so many posts about the problems and long timeof waiting periods, and the having to push through for appeal and so on. Paula the time turn around on your forms and appointment were a miracle, and I hope you are successful. Let us all know how you get on,ttfn
