[Sunnydays1]

Hi all have found out that dwp have a major back log so anyone waiting for decision could be waiting for a while sorry to put the damper on things not sure how long it will be I'm coming up to six and a half weeks now and I'm hoping that it won't be much longer is there anyone that could tell me whether that would be longer than 8 weeks thank you xxx sorry for all the questions just have very bad nerves and depression thanks again xx

Hi

It depends on area to area its not unusual to wait up to 12 weeks but you can phone and see if a decision has been made

My first application took 18 months for a decision; 6 weeks sounds like a dream! Currently waiting to hear if I have to have a f2f for my renewal myself. Good luck, hope your decision goes your way!

[Sunnydays1]

My husband is going through it now! He was only reviewed for his DLA a few years ago. Can’t understand why they didn’t transfer him to pip then?

It horrible though we asked for a home assessment, even sent a letter from our doctor, but because we put that he gets uptight and frustrated with his pain they refused and said he had to go for a assessment at a local centre. I’ve just had surgery on my leg and suffer with PA, asthma and various tumours and my daughter is a nurse and is struggling to get a day off. I rang the DWP and was basically told that they didn’t give a damn!
