Hi @Rachlilymalachymason, great to have you here! Which benefit are you waiting on? Waiting times do differ significantly but it tends to be 6-8 weeks, yet this will depend on your area. It is possible to ring up and request a copy of the report, this should give you an idea of what award you may get as it outlines each section. We understand this is a stressful time and wish you the very best of luck! Please do let me know if there is anything else we can help with and please let us know

Some people are being told 8 - 12 weeks in some areas.

Yep, going on 8 weeks+ here soon due to an audit was told by capita a lot more reports recently are being sent back for reworks.

A report being sent to audit can significantly delay to decision times.

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
