Hi everyone, I know the wait time for a decision is 2-12 weeks, or up to 8 weeks as stated in text I received, but I'm wondering what people's actual wait time for a decision was, from assessment to text about being awarded/or not.
It's been 2 long weeks from my telephone assessment and I've just been completely obsessive about it. I scored highly on assessors report, but convinced DFC will not agree.
