Assessment waiting period

I've just sent in my application form last week and I'm already on ESA so this is just to check if I'm still eligible to claim it, I'm just anxious about how long it will be until they get back to me and then how long after that the actual assessment will be, can anyone share their experience about how long it took from them sending the form until they got a letter about their appointment date?

Morning, it can take many months to get an assessment for ESA if one is required?
most will have an assessment at a centre or possible to get a home assessment but you will need good evidence from a GP stating why a home assessment is needed.
Then the decision can take many weeks too. I had a Paper Based ESA assessment and that took up to five months from start to finish. I sent a lot of factual functional evidence to back every thing up.
Hope this helps...

Waiting times can vary unfortunately but around 3 months is a good guide. Best of luck.
