How many weeks does it take the pip to decisions

Hi, there is no exact length of time really. Some can hear within a week or two for others it could be between 4 to 6 weeks or longer. Maybe you could give them a call on Monday if you have been waiting for a while and have a word with them. Xx

For ever or at least that's how it feels xxxxx it would be best to forget about it and be surprised by the letter but we don't we stress until we know if it's ok or mandatory reconsideration it's not the bes process especially if your as impatient as me good luck xxxx

Mine was just slightly over the 4 weeks but they told me four to six weeks so it was within the timescale. The person who is the assessor has to send their report to the decision makers as I understand it. I got a letter before I got my award which just said we have all t h e information we need to make a decision and will contact you again in due course and the award letter arrived not too long afterwards.

From when you first apply for PIP to when you get a decision can take 6 months or longer. Once you apply on the phone, you get sent a long form to complete and return. Then they usually arrange a face-to-face assessment with a Disability Assessor - usually a nurse and usually at your home or a Disability Centre. Their report then goes to the DWP Decision-maker who gets up to 6 weeks to review it, query it and issue a decision.
