Pension credit

Hi There, and welcome to Forum.
Not sure how long it normally takes, others might know.
But I'd phone DWP up about it.
Ask them why taking so long.

Hi
Covid was about protecting the elderly and venerable but seems to be the excuse for a sh*t service to became even sh*tter and using covid as excuse in why things have got even slower worse than before .
at the moment huge delays to the so called backlogs the same back logs they have always had.
if you have financial issues due to the delays i would suggest to keep contacting them and get a welfare advisor like CAB who will use case laws to speed up the process they also have direct telephone numbers to case managers at DWP.

Getting a welfare advisor also helps with advice on other benefits/help you/your sister et can get like AA
Attendance Allowance which should help make up the short fall from PIP ESA
below links that was useful on another blog i visit about a similar questions asked. i do hope it helps with your situation?
Wishing you and your sister family the best.
