    So when that happens, it's called a paper based assessment. Meaning the assessor had enough information to make a recommendation with minimal, or no input from the claimant.

    Once the assessment report is returned decision timescales are anything up to 12 weeks.

    Hope all goes well with the assessment and you get the outcome you want.

    Best wishes,

    Returning the ESA50 form is stage one of the WCA.

    An assessment is stage two.

    As I advised once the assessment report is given to the DWP, timescales are anything up to 12 weeks for a decision.

    good afternoon everyone

    I’ve been advised that I’m in a support group and I’m not entitled to any income as I’ve not paid enough contributions but I’ve still got to pay this years awaiting accountant to do my book
