    Hi yes it is completely normal, I waited 5 months (around 20 weeks) for my telephone assessment after applying for the first time so you may be in for a bit of a wait yet.

    Hi,

    A claim can potentially take several months, sometimes longer.

    Hi!

    I was nervous waiting, applied 27th March, they recieved my form May 1st and I just had my appointment time come through today for next week, so 20 weeks in total from first ringing!

    Fingers crossed for you x
