    HI,

    There's no timescales. The letter you received is a standard letter they send to everyone and i really have no idea why they continue to send them because it doesn't really mean anything at all. A decision can still take 8 weeks and more from when you receive that letter.

    Ring to request a copy of the report, that will tell you what the decisions is likely to be because they mostly go with it. You'll still have 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.

    It says in the letter not to contact them.  I don’t want to rock the boat!!

    That's a standard letter with standard wording that says the exact same thing on every letter. I'm not sure why you would think it will rock the boat. Simply requesting a copy of the assessment report, won't make any difference to their decision.
