Hi there
Are you referring to a PIP claim ?
If si it can take around 8 weeks after assessment for a decision
You can request a copy of the report which will indicate the recommendations
The period you have waited isnt excessive they estimate 6 months for whole process and there are huge backlogs so some are taking longer than normal -
Hi @albenq - just adding my welcome, as I see you have already received advice. Do let us know how you get on & if you have any other questions.

Hi @albenq
Welcome to the community! It's good to have you here.
As our other members have said, unfortunately there is a bit of a backlog at the moment and it is taking longer than usual to process applications.
Hope that's helpful for you to know? Please do get in touch if you have any further questions, or you just fancy a chat
@Caz_Scope -

Has the above information answered your question? I hope you aren't waiting for too much longer.
Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our PIP category as it seems maybe that was the benefit you were asking about?Online Community Coordinator, she/her
