    You haven't said what benefit this is related too so i'll guess it's PIP. If so then a decision can be anything between 2-12 weeks.

    Hello and welcome @ECT and thanks for your query :) 

    Can I just check, is this for your PIP claim, or something else? Due to a big backlog after covid, I'm afraid waiting times for PIP fall anywhere between 2-12 weeks, and can sometimes be longer. 

    How do you feel the assessment went last week?

    And in terms of managing feelings of stress, do you have anything you enjoy doing that helps you feel relaxed and calm?
