I applied 15 sept
had assessment 23 dec
Text to say report recieved the 29th
rang the week after and got told you don’t get report til decision made
then read on here that they can fob you off ... so rang yesterday for a report but was too embarrassed to ask if a decision had been made - however the lady didn’t even question the report just asked security details (including bank details which the other lady didn’t ) and then said will get the report sent out .

They wont always be able to tell you decision over phone and also it may not have been made yet if they only got report on 29th but yes you can ring and ask
Or wait till you get report to this isnt final decision just the assessors recommendation
They do most often ho with the report
When I phoned in November the guy told me they were working on 4 weeks from receiving the report for a decision to be made.
Not sure if this will be longer after Christmas.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
