    Hi,
    That is no time at all to be waiting. Backlogs are huge and the estimated timescale from applying to having a decision is about 10 months.
    Most people have assessments so you should expect one of those, which is likely to be by telephone. All you can do is wait, once an appointment becomes available you will be contacted.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
