    After my review I received a letter (about 2 weeks later) and Just said they had all my documentation and would let me know the outcome. Didn’t give me a time frame.

    Mine was four weeks until the decision. Letter takes ten days to process. 
    The mandatory would be from the date of the award that you don't have yet because they haven't made it.
    I waited a month then asked for the assessment letter, waiting on this.

    You should ring and ask for a copy of the assessment report

    The report is just a recommendation to the DWP. The decision then has to be made by a DM, the legth of time it take will depend on their work load and the ammount of other evidence they have to read to come to a decision

    CR is correct in his answer, but I urge everyone to request a copy of your report, it makes intresting reading and can give you an indecation of what your award may be by looking at the points that have been awarded and comments made by the accessor. But as always you will have to,wait for the official letter from the decision maker with your award details. But if the report looks as if it's not in your favour then you can look at why and reasons to start a MR way before you get award notification.

    There may be a small window before the decision is made to talk to the DM about any concerns you have with the report
