Hi bonnie and welcome
Normally PIP decisions are 2-4 weeks after assessment.
Have you asked for a copyy of the assessment report ?

Hi
thank you I was unaware I could request a copy of the report . It’s been 3 weeks now and am looking that it’s a bad sign . -
Hi bonnie,
Try not to worry unnecessarily. I understand it's only natural to think negatively about these things but the length of time for a decision has nothing to do with it being particularly positive or negative. All the best.

Hi Lee
thank you -
Hi, personally I had been waiting months for a return of my results. Please phone them and infirm them that if it takes beyond 2-3 weeks thenow a 'maladministration' form will be completed regarding the delay. If they are being too long. Get the form and send it in. That'l help.

Hi Bonnie
PIP decisions can take around 4-6 weeks.
Have you had a decision yet?
If not it maybe worth contacting PIP to point out that your DLA will end in the next week, and asking if there is anything holding up a decision being made on your claim.
