I know people have asked but I thought if some people could say how long it took from having the f2f to their decision or money in the bank of successful, maybe we could get a rough idea of how long the DWP are taking at the moment?

    Hi,

    It's varies vastly from area to area. My shortest time for a decision is 5 days, my longest waiting time was just over 6 weeks.

    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.

    Hi @miachappy, I don't believe we have 'met' before, hello!

    I hope you aren't waiting too long, and like @poppy123456 has said, you can always request a copy of the report which may give you a better idea of the award :)

    It varies. Call the DWP to request a copy of the assessment report tomorrow morning that will tell you more. Keep us updated.

    Ah I thought all reports went to a central office where they’re all dealt with?
    thank you @poppy123456 @Chloe_Scope and @Cressida
    I do have my assessment report but I have to say I haven’t received we a text saying we now have everything to make a decision, just a we’ve received the written report one.
    So hopefully for you @Cressida there will be a decision coming your way soon!
