    Hi @cherieluxton96 - & welcome to the community. It obviously varies, but the average seems to be 8 weeks between your assessment & getting a decision letter.

    Welcome to the community @cherieluxton96 :) Just to let you know, I've renamed your post so that it's easier for other members to find. 

    As chiarieds has said, waiting times vary, so it'd be difficult to tell you exactly how long it'll be. 

    How do you feel the assessment went?

    You can do @cherieluxton96. Some people find this makes them more anxious, however, as you'll still have to wait for the decision letter to come through to see what you've actually been awarded. 

    Try not to worry too much about the length of the assessment. It could just be that they already felt they had quite a lot of information from your form. Did you feel as though you had enough time to elaborate on your answers and give the examples you wanted?
