    Hi @daveyboy1 and welcome. So very sorry to read of your difficulties. Have you found someone to go to the assessment with you? Sounds to me as if you could use the support.
    Warmest best wishes,

    You can ring DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with that report.

    There's no time scales to decisions, some have a decision in 2 weeks, while other have to wait 6-8 weeks. It all depends on backlog in your area. Your DLA will continue until a decision is made. Good luck.
    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.
