in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi I'm new to this

I was handing sick notes into universal credit from July 2021, I sent my questionaire off in August 2021, I kept handing evidence in until March 2022, at this time my assessment was still not complete, .
I then had a work coach appointment over the phone and in that call I told him I was sending in evidence, he told me to stop sending now as I didn't need to,

In August 2022 I had a letter stating I was accepted for work capability and work related activity, from August as there was a break in the evidence, and I would have to wait 3 months for the payment, when I have been waiting a year for the outcome,

Since that day I have got all evidence from march until present and handed it in as a mandatory reconsideration on 19th August 2022, 
All I am being told is there's no time scale for it, could some one help me with what I can do next as this is really getting me down

    Allow 12 weeks for MR.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    The timescale is just a guide. Sometimes it takes longer than 12 weeks. All you can do is wait for the decision at the stage.
    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.
