    Hi and welcome to the community 

    It is up to you if you request a copy of the report 

    Just remember it isn't the decision and only the assessors recommendation 

    The decision will be made on all the evidence submitted 

    Personally I wouldn't but that's my view

    Some people ask for the report, some don't. Although it often causes more anxiety than you may already suffer from, especially if the report isn't quite what you expected.
    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.

    Waiting times can vary quite a lot, so it's difficult to say exactly how long it'll be unfortunately @lisa1827. I hope you don't have to wait too long!
