I got my letter in January, returned my completed form February, had the face to face March and a decision in April.
It does vary but it's normally a few months to go through the whole process. You have 30 days from receipt of the letter to phone to request the forms. You then have a further 30 days to return your completed form. It could then be 1-2 months to wait for a face to face assessment and a further 2-3 weeks for a decision.

I got forms for DS in january too, same timescale as above, but was refused, did mandatory reconsideration but that failed too, dla stopped last month.
Get advice from CAB about filling in forms etc, and collect as much evidence as you can. X

DIL 3 has some complex health issues she was refused twice because she at the interview was deemed to be fine why as she had her new baby with her and he was happy fed clean and content they wouldn't listen that she'd been up 6 hours to get them both ready and to the interview
Second time she was back on a complex drug regimen which when she has to have it fells and is great but it's only when she's really poorly can she have it Well we had interview 3 2weeks ago she was not at all well at the time but result we got the decision to day she's been awarded I filled out the paper work this time all, had can say go to CAs for help with the forms they are awful and I'm a trained health professional |

A good outcome, but it’s wrong that such complex judgments are swayed by how an applicant is on the day of the assessment. Most people applying for PIP have conditions that have highs and lows but the assessors only seem to want to log the highs which gives a false picture.
As a CA adviser I would echo your suggestion that people seek help with filling in the huge and overwhelming PIP form. The sad thing is that our local CAB is desperately short of money after Local Authority and National Lottery funding ceased. This means we will only open three days a week and appointments for advice, form filling, etc have been halved. The Bureau is surviving on back up funds but if we don’t secure more funding the doors will close for good next April! |

Look at the website disability and work. You have to subscribe but the guide on how to complete the form is invaluable. Well worth the subscription.
