    Up to 12 weeks for a decision after the report is returned. There's no timescales from when that letter or text is received.

    Yes, review decisions are currently taking about a year from when you return the form.

    If any new award is higher than current award they don't always backdate the claim to an earlier date. A decision maker has discretion to award from an earlier time. Some do and others don't.

    I recently had my review decision that took almost a year after receiving the forms. I did report my condition had got worse when I filled in the forms. I had a paper based assessment with just a quick 10 minute phone call from a decision maker. They asked me when my conditions got worse and I answered them. The decision was made the following day and my award was increased to Enhanced for both parts, paid from October 2023. I was paid the difference between my old award and new award and the money went into my back 4 working days later.

    If the report recommends a review in 2 years then the decision maker usually adds 1 year to that, if there's an award. How long it will be before the next review will depend on what date the award is from.

    Has the person added up any recommended points in the report?

    51 weeks after the report was returned? Who on earth told them that? It's up to 12 weeks.
