    The time it takes to complete the assessment doesn't mean anything other than they had no further questions to ask.
    Timescales for decisions is anything up to 12 weeks, sometimes longer.
    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.

    Welcome to the community @dsparks :) Thank you for joining!

    I hope that poppy123456's reply has put your mind at ease a bit. I know it can feel a bit worrying when as assessment is shorter, but it's not a reflection on whether your claim will be successful or not.

    Do you feel as though you got across everything you wanted to?
