There is a massive backlog of applications and nobody can give a date for any pip claims, apparently people are told they have to wait even 12 months has been mentioned, bide your time and wait I suppose, not fare or right but these fools in government have messed up good style.

Hello

ATOS has withdrawn from their contract and the State is now looking around for alternatives. I have not worked out what the benefit situation is regarding this and now the situation is becoming worse.

Ah I get it now, thanks to you borderriever. I wasn't clear what the post was about exactly. I should have phoned up again today to chase them up as it's now just over three weeks since I got onto them when I was told the computer had "forgotten" when I first requested them at the beginning of April & still not received the ones from my second request & was informed it would be sent out as a matter of urgency! Brain fog this afternoon & I completely forgot so guess I'll find out tomorrow what the situation is & whether or not I can get through. I'd no idea though as not seen the news today, or had a newspaper. I'd better have a look on line.

Oh no! BBC News report states

"It will also continue with assessments for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) - another welfare change introduced by the government - in Scotland, the north of England, London and the south of England."

I live in the north west so it seems I'm stuck with them.
