    Hi @Kellzz welcome to the community! The waiting time can vary due to the backlog in your area. How long have you been waiting?

    I had my assessment on Wednesday 7th November and my decision letter on 23rd November, in North of England.

    There's really no time scales to decisions and backlogs is just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.

    Ring DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report, this will give you some idea what the decision will be as they mostly go with the report.
