There are some backlogs in some areas. Unfortunately, all you can do is wait. 

Although you mention a new claim and not a review of an exisiting award and they are usually quicker with decisions on new claims than reviews. You'll likely need an assessment because most people have them. Once an appointment becomes available you will be contacted.
