    It varies so much we can't really answer, it will depend on the assessment provider's workload etc.

    Most people have phone/in person assessments so you should expect to have one. Paper based assessments (requiring minimal or no further input from you) are possible but rarer.

    First time assessments are usually quicker than reviews. Backlogs for new claims aren't as long as reviews.
