PIP timescale was created by missjdlawars
I just had my face to face assessment after 9 month wait. It took around 1 and a half hours. Any idea on the expected time scale for a decision?

I'm afraid it could still take a long time, especially if your report is held back for audit before being sent to DWP (I don't know how many are being audited these days).

Please don't make duplicate posts we try to answer questions as quickly as possible, all it does is tie up two moderators giving you the same answer.
Thanks

Hi, bit new to this so please forgive any glaring errors!
I had my interview (Capita) a few weeks ago and my assessment report was with the DWP less than one week later.
I have also been told by the DWP that they aim to make a decision within 3 weeks of receiving the assessment results.
That was just over 3 weeks ago!
I will give it 1 more week as they also say letters will take anywhere from 7 to 10 working days to deliver due to everything being sent 2nd class business post.
Then I will be on the Dog and Bone again to find out what is happening!
BTW! I live in South Wales (just in case it makes a difference)!
