    Hi @Njb230861 and welcome to the community!

    As @AKR has asked, is this a change of circumstances? I know that waiting times can be quite long.

    Ah we responded at the same time there @Njb230861!

    It can take 8 weeks, or even up to 16 weeks or longer. I know that's not very helpful but it's difficult to know exact timeframes.

    That's a standard letter and there's no timescales after that. Timescales are up to 12 weeks after the assessment report was returned.
