Thanks xx

Had my face to face assessment yesterday didn’t last as long as I thought it would just got to wait now for outcome six weeks

There's no timescales for decisions. They tell everyone 6 weeks but it doesn't really mean anything.Wait a week then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.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.
