    Hi and welcome to the community 

    There are no fixed timescales and currently with huge backlogs it can be a long wait people are waiting for 6 months or longer for assessments 

    Depends on your area and the backlogs

    The majority of people have assessments, which will be either telephone or face to face. Paper based assessments are rare but possible. If an assessment is needed you will be contacted once an appointment date becomes available.

    My experience was sent form off around 9th August..heard nothing so was going to ring to make they had received form in mid October when my pip payment suddenly increased, decision letter arrived a couple of days later...no assessment (thankfully)...so from sending form to decision letter was around 9 weeks..I might just have been lucky!
