Hi everyone im new here :) hope you all are well! just wondering if anybody could give me any guidance as to how long your supposed to wait for a disability assessment appointment ?  its now been six months since i completed my UC50 form and posted back...i actually am aware that in the grand scheme of things this isn't long as I've heard horror stories of people waiting over a year for an appointment! it just seems crazy to me that you have to wait six months for an assessment! anyway i hope you are well :)

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Unfortunately due to huge backlogs and an influx of new claims and reduced resources people are waiting a long time for work capability assessment 

    Not much you can do bit wait
