I have recently applies for PIP, had an assessment and received a text to say that report had been received. How long after this may a decision take?

I applied for FND have reduced mobility on left side,  speech affected and mood. Have rehabilitation and neurophysio. Has anyone else been successful with FND applying for PIP.  Have never applied for benefits before and the application was so hard for me
