    Hi,

    There's really no timescales, it depends what questions they need to ask you. I've had face to face assessments that have last a little as 10 mins and as long as 1 hour and 15 minutes. The length of the assessment means nothing.

    If you live in the UK wait a week and ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent you, that will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be.
    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.

    Hi @weetracyc, I don't think you need to worry about the length of time, as Poppy said they can vary hugely. 
    I hope the experience wasn't too stressful. Please let us know when you hear the outcome!
