New style esa. Is anyone else waiting for an assessment?

Hi everyone, 
I claimed esa in December, I haven’t had any assessments and still have to send them fit notes every 10 days. 
I have filled out a form on my disability. 

I called in march and they said I’m on a list that they are working through and shouldn’t be much longer. 

I’m just wondering if anyone else is waiting for an assessment because this is a really long time to wait. 

Thank you

    This is not unusual at the moment because backlogs are huge. We have members here that have waited a year for their assessment.

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Can you not get a fit note for a longer period than 10 days at a time
