Hi all just looking for a bit of info ,so I ran up 5th March for change of circumstances, received my letter a couple of weeks later sent it back, finally got a phone call last month to say my appointment over phone was 5th July yesterday so been waiting quite a while ,and today received a text to say dwp have received my written report, my appointment over phone was yesterday 8am ,I'm thinking now this is maybe a bad thing because its only been 24 hours since appointment over phone ,I'm wondering if I rang up today and asked for a copy of it would that be OK or is it to soon to ask being as though I only got my text this morning ,thanks

Hi
It is normal for the report to get to dwp same day or next
They advise 7 days after assessment before asking for report but if they have it would try maybe tomorrow
Don't forget it isn't the decision just the recommendation -
Great thankyou ,yes i will try tomorrow ,just want it all to be over with now to be honest, been waiting so long ,and now my anxiety is through the roof waiting for letter ,I'm hoping next letter is about award and not just an update about they have received my report ,I'm assuming becaaue I got a text they won't send out a letter is this correct, or do they still send a letter to say we have received report ,even though they sent me a text to confirm this ,thanks

I would just ring now if you really want the report. I remember my mum had a text a few years back when her report had been received and she rang up for a copy and the woman starting laughing with her because she said they had only received it ten minutes ago but of course they would send it out.

Sometimes getting the report causes more anxiety as you still need to wait for the decision
I don't think you will get a letter as well but if you request the report that will be the next envelope
Decision are estimated to be taking 8 to 10 weeks after assessment -

Hi yes I suffer real bad with anxiety and panick attacks ,also fibromyalgia, I'm on medication for my anxiety and also blood pressure tablets for heart palpitations ,I did use to see a lady for cbt but then she started to scare me by saying we will get you out the house on yoir own and one day into town ,that was it I was so scared ? I never went back it just made my anxiety worse ,I use the tapping at the minute so when I'm anxious I'll just tap anything that is near to me ,I did use to Scratch at my hands or pull my hair wrapping it around my fingers ,then I learnt that tapping on anything near to me can help, thankyou for your comment ?

Some people have been waiting up to 12 months for a decision on a change
The priority is new claims and review
Not people who have an award in place -
