    Hello @kellyraiden

    Welcome to the community, I hope you are well.

    how did your assessment go? 

    There is no fixed time for a decision however at the minute you're looking at about a couple of months on average due to backlogs, but hopefully it will be sooner for you.

    You can ring up and get a copy of the assessor's report, which will give you an indication of what the decision might end up being, but that will go to the decision maker and they may not necessarily go along with the report.

    It can be as quick as two weeks or as slow as 12 or anything in between i'm afraid.
