I had text received form 25th march had phone assessment 5th of may the received report 7th. The decision was made today 12th may.. I do not know the decision yet, I had a call to be told letter be out in the next 10 days. It's gone super fast for me. I'm in wales so not sure its because of my location.

I applied in Dec had my tel assessment last week and got a text to day it will take 6 weeks now to get a decision. I'm in the South and with Independent Assessment services (previously atos). My assessment lasted an hour and the lady was really nice and she had obviously read my form.

She seemed reasonably well informed about my epilepsy but who can be sure until you see the report. She did make me laugh though she said, do you drive much. Well I'm not being funny but when you are having several seizures a week it's fairly obvious that you are not able to have a license.

Fingers crossed for you @Brumboy68! 

Brumboy68

Everything is crossed even bits that you can't cross lol

I had my assessment on Monday morning forms went back in Feb 7th.

she asked if I could walk my dog,I said I can’t even walk myself never mind the dog 🐶 

Brumboy68

Do you receive a text from dwp when they have received assessment report?

xcalibrate

I received a text from DWP when they had received the report, yes.

Brumboy68

How long was that after your assessment

xcalibrate

About a week. I had a paper based assessment. I then received a letter about 3 weeks later saying the same as the text. I received my decision 2 weeks after the letter.

I received a text but I’ve heard it’s all depending on what selection they have made on the assessment process whether the select to text or not,just read that on another site today 😊

Hi, I received a text to say they had received my form on 24th November, I still haven’t heard anything. I have rang a few times but my application form still hasn’t been looked at. It will be 18 weeks now and still haven’t even been contacted about an assessment. 

emmyjg

Yeah it has been a long wait, when I call they just say there is a backlog of forms. 

In the south so it’s through independent assessment services. Thought I would of had an appointment for assessment by now though. 

emmyjg

That’s okay then hopefully won’t be long!
