    Nothing to worry about at all, some people receive text confirmations and some don't. It's highly likely that your assessment report is in 'audit' which in simple terms means the Assessment Provider are checking the quality of your assessors work before sending it off to DWP. They are sent electronically via an internal system so I hope that puts your mind at ease.

    Hello I’m new here! I also had my assessment on Thursday 30th and have had nothing back to say received. This whole process is so stressful and takes SO long it’s crazy. 
    Wishing you well

    That means it's in an audit. Once it's completed then the report will be returned. The only downside to this is that it does delay the decision making process. The longest i've known a report be in audit for is 6 weeks and this was my daughters report back in 2017.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    The timescale for a decision starts when the report is returned to DWP and then it can take up to 12 weeks. A decision can't be made until the report is returned.

    The only cases they prioritise are those that are claiming because of end of life. Everyone else has to go through the process as normal and they do not prioritise those claimants.

    You can ring the health assessment providers and ask if it's been returned. If it's in an audit they will tell you.
