Had my face to face assessment yesterday didn’t last as long as I thought it would just got to wait now for outcome six weeks

There's no timescales for decisions. They tell everyone 6 weeks but it doesn't really mean anything.

Wait a week then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

I hope the assessment wasn't too stressful @denisemargaret. Good luck with the decision!

It wasn’t stressful at all I was stressing before she came but not at all once assessment started just hoping it goes in my favour thanks x
