I had a capability work assessment, what's the usual waiting time?

H I am wondering if anyone can help us. I had to come out of work in July to look after my partner and my sons, Because I was working my partner was getting support ESA. U.C was new to our area so when I came out of work I had to apply. We rang ESA and they said that because I am not working we are now entitled to income related ESA but because we have moved over to U.C. we cannot claim income related ESA. So it is deducted from our claim. We rang both U.C. and ESA but have not been able to get anywhere.
The advice given was to drop our esa claim which means doing without the esa or going through the whole process again.
I had an capability to work assessment I was also wondering what the usual waiting time is.
I am very grateful for any help or advice given to us as this whole process is so confusing.

My partner receives PIP and contributions based ESA.
We applied for U.C. in September. I had my assessment for capability to work in November.
