Why has it arrived so soon

[slsn71]

Just phoned dwp to check they received my review form as it was sent on Friday by first class recorded delivery ,the lady said they got it this morning and it was in the mail handling site and then said that my appointment would be sent out in about 8 weeks maybe it just me bit confused that she would know better hat if they only got it this morning has anyone else had this ?

She would know how long the waiting times are so could give you a good idea how long to wait.

This is normal

Thank you wasn't sure just want it over with before Xmas I'm bag of nerves as I'm currently on standard daily living so not sure how to his going to turn out x

Like everything else there is a large waiting list and it sounds like it is around 2 months in your area. This is how she knows. The good news is if you are already getting DLA this should continue until your appointment, and if you get PIP and it is more than your DLA then it should be backdated to the time you claimed from. x

Generally if they get your review form from you, they will assess, then contact your GP and any Specialists you have been seeing. They then will consider if they need to see you, also then make an appointment. The appointment may be in a queue, then they will send an appointment.

If you have more time ok, accept that and move on, personally I would feel the longer the better. So keep your powder dry.

Apparently they don't contact your GP you have to get letters and fill in forms and you take it to them. So check that if you can
