HI and welcome,There's no timescales for any decision. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.May i ask if you've had a face to face assessment yet? Most people have those, a paper based assessment is rare.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Unfortunately as said waiting times are dependant on backlog and resources.Hopefully it wont be too much longer. What decision are you waiting for have you had your assessment yet, or waiting after sending in your application
