My OH had her renewal done over the phone in December it took no more than 15 minutes and they give her a decision there and then.

Had a telephone assessment 01/05/20 and it took just over a hour to complete. 

Times will vary based on conditions.

yes @jcalderwood, i must agree, everyone is different with different descriptors and i had to use the toilet half way through, i drink lots of water daily, and i had to take meds too, welcome to our community

Can I also ask how long it took from when they contacted you about the review to the phone assessment,  I'm just guessing it's going to be a phone assessment due to covid ?

that varies from area to area depending on how busy they are, they seem to have switched staff to deal with the large number of new UC claims.
