Hi,
I'm new here..I'm claiming PIP as I can't work due to my bipolar,I had the ATOS assessment a month ago and a text from DWP a week ago to say they have all they need and are making a decision,I have been beside myself with worry,anybody assure me at all that it won't be much longer?
Thank you

Hi my husband had his first f2f in March 16 then a second on 5Dec 16 and they still can't make a decision on his claim it's terrible really he's got schizophrenia anxiety disorder and split personality all this waiting and different assessments don't help him at all
I've got a support worker dealing with his claim now

Both assessments was done at home as he doesn't leave the house as advised by someone else I will make a appointment with the local mp tomorrow my husband can't be left on his own at all and it's hard then for me to go out and sort things out they treat people awful it's disgusting

Hi sukes I honestly don't know. They told me it would take at least an hour but I was only in there 30 minutes so I really don't know. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though thank goodness

Hi Jog that's absolutely brilliant, congratulations!! Mine was not as bad as I expected it to be although I was only with assessor for 30 minutes and was told would last at least an hour so don't know if that's a bad sign! I will keep you up to date anyway x
