So when that happens, it's called a paper based assessment. Meaning the assessor had enough information to make a recommendation with minimal, or no input from the claimant.

Once the assessment report is returned decision timescales are anything up to 12 weeks.

Hi @Donc51 just wanted to pop and say welcome to the online community 🙂

Hope all goes well with the assessment and you get the outcome you want.

If its esa 50 Ir esa can be a year but that's with Capita , it's a review though

Returning the ESA50 form is stage one of the WCA.

An assessment is stage two.

As I advised once the assessment report is given to the DWP, timescales are anything up to 12 weeks for a decision.
