Waiting on decision. I had my assessment on the 8th October. Should I be concerned?

Hi all I'm new here.

So I started my pip claim back in May and had my telephone assessment on Friday the 8th October. I phoned up on Tuesday the 12th to see if any news and to request a copy of the assessment report. The lady I spoke to told me that correspondence had been sent to me on Saturday the 9th October yet I have received nothing so far and she couldn't tell me anymore.

The only thing I have had was a text message on Monday the 11th October to say they had received the report.
Should I be concerned by this or just be patient now and wait?

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    The average wait for a decision is 8 weeks some as long as 12 weeks so I would be a bit more patient

    Welcome to the community @Faffy123 :)

    Just to let you know, I removed the duplicate post you made. 

    As Janer1967 has said, waiting times vary but can be quite long unfortunately. 

    How do you feel the assessment went?

    If you were told you were sent a letter on the 9th October and haven't received it yet then I suggest you ring and ask them to send you another copy. If you're lucky you'll get someone more helpful who will also tell what the letter says.
