    Hi,
    There are huge backlogs for work capability assessments and as you've only just returned your form, you could be in for a long wait. Some people on here and still waiting more than several months after returning their form. Nothing more you can do but wait.

    Sorry to be a downer but I put mine in in August, phoned to confirm they had it in September and I still haven't had an assessment.

    Welcome to the community @aid1234 :) As the others have said, waiting times can unfortunately be quite long, and it's difficult to say exactly how long it'll be. 

    Will you be able to manage okay in the meantime?
