    Sounds like you've had a paper based assessment because there was enough of information to write the report without an assessment. It's rare for this to happen but it does happen. Waiting times for a decision can be anything up to 8 weeks but for UC is has been known for it to be made within a week.
    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.
