    Hi,
    Yes, we do have some members that applied online. There is huge backog at the moment and the estimated timescale is about 10 months from applying to having a decision.
    You should expect an assessment because most people have them. Once an appointment becomes available they will contact you.
    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.

    All claimants in person are now offered the opportunity to complete the form online but this is fairly recent,
