I'm worried bad news from PIP and ESA will both drop on mat at same time, like assessment forms did. Do you know how long approx ESA take as it's almost 7 weeks since my form was sent back? Or could my assumptions be correct that they're going to combine assessment I had yesterday

Whilst the assessment report from one benefit can be used to support a Decision on the other, the reports cannot substitute for an assessment.
ESA assessment times are extremely variable, in areas such as London they are often only a few weeks, for most of the country it is months and in some areas it is still taking the best part of a year.
