My telephone assessment lasted nearly 150 minutes. Is this a normal or abnormal amount of time?

    Hi,
    That's rather a long time but it does sometimes happen. It doesn't mean anything other than it took a long time.
    Waiting times for decision are between 2-12 weeks.
    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.

    There is no fixed length of time an assessment takes some are quick some are long it doesn't mean anything it all depends on how long it takes to get enough information for them to complete the assessment
