Hi am new here  
I been in the sick since November 2021 3month fit note. I report my second fit note which is for 3 month. I sent my uc50 form back 2 weeks ago. How long roughly is the wait for assessment appointment?

Hi,

There are huge backlogs for work capability assessments and as you've only just returned your form, you could be in for a long wait. Some people on here and still waiting more than several months after returning their form. Nothing more you can do but wait.

Ok thank you

Sorry to be a downer but I put mine in in August, phoned to confirm they had it in September and I still haven't had an assessment.

Welcome to the community @aid1234 As the others have said, waiting times can unfortunately be quite long, and it's difficult to say exactly how long it'll be. 

Will you be able to manage okay in the meantime?
