    Hi there
    I went through this last year I had my assessment 5th may and got decision 7th June. I ended up appealing the decision through mandatory reconsideration got the same outcome so appealed and took it to tribunal which was heard 2 weeks ago. Happy to say court ruled in my favour however just making you aware of how long the process can take. It's been a full year from start to finish. 
    Anything else you want to ask I'm no expert but happy to share experience.

    Hi,

    Decision times vary depending on backlog in your area but it can be anything from 2-8 weeks sometimes longer.

    You can request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the report. This way if you're not happy then you can start to write the Mandatory reconsideration letter but you'll need to wait for the decision before requesting this.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
