I have previously spoken regarding this topic many times I just feel like lately anxiety has taken over and I try and concentrate on other things and put it in the back of my mind I just feel the whole process is very long and I understand I have a job to do but I just feel really anxious right now

I have heard some people on different discussions have called an automated line I just wonder if anyone have that number

previously asked before recommendations if I should call and ask for my assessment report

Feedback I got recommend me not calling back which I understand because I do suffer from severe anxiety

Is there a way that you can take from 2 to 12 weeks for decision

but the same time my assessment went into an audit which lasted nearly 5 weeks

I received a message from DWP last week stating that they have received my system report and they will get back to me in due course 2 to 8 weeks

I have other personal issues going on so I find it very difficult to juggle everything at once especially ways of being with a healthy shoes it’s really not helping/financial difficulties at the moment

Especially with my severe OCD disorder is very difficult for me to wait on an answer it’s just the way my condition works so I find it very difficult at the moment to keep focus and concentrate on things

I just need some help and support or maybe some advice

    The automated payment line people talk about sometimes is just the helpline.. Telephone: 0800 121 4433.
    The 12 week guide for a decisions is from when the report has been returned. Unfortunately, when a report is sent to audit, it can delay the decision making process.
    I do agree just how stressful the wait it but there's really nothing more you can do until that decision's been made, unfortunately.
