i have sent my pip from away, to see if I will get pip how to find out if I get it
To find out if you have been awarded Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you should follow these steps:
1. **Wait for the Decision**: After your PIP assessment, it can take several weeks for a decision to be made. The time it takes can vary based on the volume of applications being processed.
2. **Check Your Mail**: The decision will be communicated to you via a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This letter will explain whether you have been awarded PIP and, if applicable, the amount you will receive.
3. **Contact the DWP**: If you haven’t received any communication after a reasonable period (usually around 8 weeks after your assessment), you can contact the DWP. You can do this by calling them or using any online contact methods they provide. Be sure to have your National Insurance number and any reference numbers from your application handy.
4. **Online Account**: If you created an online account when applying for PIP, you may also be able to check the status of your application there.
5. **Keep Records**: It’s a good idea to keep a record of all communications with the DWP, including dates you contacted them and any letters you receive.
If you feel that you have been waiting too long or are having difficulty getting information, consider seeking help from a welfare rights advisor or a local support organization. They can provide guidance on how to proceed.
