Hello everybody,

So, DWP finally recieved my assessment report today, which took just over 3 weeks. I rang up today and asked them to send me a copy of the report out and she said she will send it out for me today. Does anybody know how long roughly it will take for me to recieve it? Also, how do I find out what the assessor has pointed me by reading the report?

Thank you.

    Hi @kelly2021. I don’t know about the waiting time, but with the scoring, I’ve read on here, you’ll see ticks or dots by each of the descriptors. Hope that’s right anyway!

    Hi there 

    Its impossible yo say how long it will take its down to royal mail 

    On the report there will be dots against the descriptors the dots will be in a box and this is the points you have been recommended by assessor 

    This isn't the decision  just recommendations

    Thank you everybody for your replies.
    I know its not the decision, but would just be nice to know the recommendations as I recieved a text today saying that it will have a decision in 8 weeks, even though I had my assessment 3 weeks ago so it's just so tiring and exhausting waiting ?
