Can anyone tell me what happens next as the text said they'll notify me within 8 weeks but I've heard it can take a couple of days ? , thanks

    Hi there 

    There are no fixed timescales but as they advised around 8 weeks it's unusual to just be couple days 

    You can request a copy of report buf not always advisable as report is just recommendations and not decision

    I’m not saying a couple of days isn’t impossible, but in reality is likely to not happen. 

    It all depends on the workload of the case manager.

    Eight weeks is just a guide, some people like to request a copy of the report as it can give you an idea of the award being recommended (or not) but it's upto you.
