    oh no. please don't tell me that, I don think I'll b able to cope waiting that long, going tor too ring up next week to see if they will give me a copy of my accessor's  report but I don't think they will give me until the decision maker has made his/her decision. the whole process is very stressful

    Assessor told me 4 or 5 weeks, text said 6 weeks as a guide. I am due a DLA payment next week, will see if I am paid it or not, then will phone them if I still haven't heard anything. Had enough of waiting, really affecting my day to day functionality. Its driving me nuts

    So just phoned up For an update to be told a decision was made yesterday but they can’t tell me on the phone as a letter had not been issued yet,

    Your report was received the same day as mine, so hopefully my decision has been made. I phoned last Thursday and eas told no decision was made yet by some ignorant clown on the phone!

    If the decision has only just been made then it takes about 24 hours for the computers to be updated. This means that the advisers won't be able to see what that decision is until around this time, even though they will be able to see that a decision's been made.

    Ring again this time tomorrow and they should be able to see it.

    sorry to hear your decision , I cant understand how they are able to do that to ppl, some of the capita assessments I have heard about are a disgrace, I am waiting on my decision and I am totally dreading it. its very stressful :(

    Sorry you're still waiting @Bruno78, hopefully it won't be too much longer (although it does seem around 12 weeks is average at the moment). I hope you hear soon!

    I rang up dwp today but they still haven't received my assessment from capita, that was 3 weeks I had the assessment, rang capita after and they said it had went to audit whatever that means and thats there is no real timescale how long it will take at audit but hopefully not much longer. so frustraing.

    When an assessment report is chosen for audit it can delay the decision process significantly because there's no timescales how long it will be kept there. It's nothing for you to worry about, it just means the report is being checked. I've had reports chosen for audit in the past and the last time it happened it was there for just over 5 weeks.

    Got my letter today, although I am obviously delighted with the award, the points are very strange. The sections I thought I would score high in are ridiculously low and got points elsewhere that I thought I had no chance with. Its a long award aswell. Think I will request my report for my own records.
