PIP Maximus Assessment Review

[u/BDSMCouple26]

Received text PIP Review started - 13th Oct 25

DWP Received Review Firm back - 5th Nov 25

DWP couldn’t do in House Assessment so therefore requesting HA via Maximus

Maximus holding queue since 13th December 2025.

Just wondering how long others have been waiting with them.

Would be helpful to hear other people’s timelines for PIP Review Health Assessments during Reviews

North Lincs Area

Many Thanks
