    @Imarie3004 ,if you don't mind me asking it was your first claim or a review ? I had an assessment 13weeks ago,but mine was a review. And still waiting. 
    From what I read on this forum for people who claimed first time awaiting time is much shorter than for a review one.

    The timescales once the report is returned is the same for new claims as it is for reviews. Of course it’s just a guide and each individual case will be different. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.
