Hello @bennyboy0751 and welcome to the community

It's understandable that you're feeling nervous, so thanks for reaching out here. I just want to make sure I understand, as usually the report comes after the assessment.

i got report last week i scored 18 points daily living and 8 points mobility

Is this one a report you've been sent by the assessor, or a test you did to see how many points you'd score?

Hi 

Decisions take anything from 2 to 12 weeks . Your claim has been dealt with quickly so far compared to others the estimate is 10 months from start of claim

You're in the final stages now @bennyboy0751 the waiting is hard, but I find the best thing for it is to focus on things you enjoy doing, and on spending time with loved ones too.

If you can distract yourself a bit, the letter will arrive before you know it. I hope you get the outcome you're looking for, and do remember that whatever the result we are here to support you
