    Up to several months. Some are quicker than others.

    It means it takes as long as it takes. There's no timescales really because everyone will be different. Different areas, different cases can all lead to delays.

    It's almost like you're asking how long is a piece of string. As I advised it can take several months, could be less, could be more. There's no specific answer to the question you're asking.

    All you can do is wait to hear from them and expect an assessment because most people have them.

    Hi @nutthorse1991, welcome to the community 😊 This unfortunately is a really difficult question to answer. We've heard wait times of several months. Unfortunately it really can vary because assessments are done on a regional basis in the UK. So one region may be waiting several months while another region may only be waiting a few months.
