    Hi,

    There's no average time for an assessment. It can be anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours sometimes.

    If you live in the UK leave it about a week and then ask your hubby to ring DWP to request a copy of the report to be sent to him, this will give him some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report. You'll still need to wait for the decision though.
    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.

    The face to face assessment is mostly to confirm what was written on the form and anything else they need to confirm.
