Hi could anyone give me any advice please. I applied for pip in January and have still not heard nothing I haven’t even had my face to face meeting, I’ve called 3 times and just get told I’m on the waiting list but will be needing a face to face meeting. Just wondered how long other people were waiting. X
hi jabby
I know there is huge backlogs so I’ve seen people waiting up to nearly a year! Crazy I know! You could call the assessment centre who will be doing your face to face and see if they have any cancellations appointments. My friend was waiting about 40 weeks for a face to face and only got seen quicker as she got a cancellation appointment for the day after she called the centre so it’s worth a try.

Hi Jabby I was at just over the 7 month mark waiting for an assessment, would either be told nothing or lied to when I called ATOS. At that point I thought well this is enough, so I emailed my MP. He got involved, and within 4 days I had my assessment appointment arranged. I also had a letter from my MP saying any further problems or delays, to contact him again. I had my assessment on 9th July (originally applied 13th November last year) - I will be calling DWP soon, and if I feel I’m being messed about or delayed, I shall not hesitate to contact my MP again. Well worth it, I assure you! Good Luck FB x
Hi thank you very much for the replies,it had crossed my mind to contact my MP as I’m fed up with this waiting and not knowing anything I have read on the forum of people contacting their MP didn’t realise it could be sorted so quick. Thank you for your help and best wishes with your outcome missylala x
