      Yes most people have a f2f assessment. Paper based decisions do happen but are extremely rare. Waiting time can be anything from 8 weeks to several months.

    Hi all , im new to the site and was on looking for information regarding PIP and came across this thread.

    I am transfering from DLA to PIP 

    I was just really wondering about how long it takes for the decision maker to make a decision?  I rang PIP today to find out about thr progress of my claim as i hadnt gotten an appoinment for a f2f. I was then advise by the lady on the phone that i was not going to be called for a f2f. I was not called for one for the DLA either.  Just wondering if this is a good or bad thing in regards to PIP ? 

    Thank you

      Hi,

      It can be good or bad. believe it or not i have heard of people being refused PIP without a f2f. It's happened a few times that i know of with people transfering from DLA also, i'm not trying to scare you just being honest. On the good side people do get an award without a f2f also. It's rare both ways but it can happen. Hopefully for you it's good news and you won't have to wait much longer. There's no time scales really, it's like saying how long is a piece of string. Good luck.
