Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
I'm afraid I can't give you any definitive answer and it depends on whether you are going to have to have a face to face assessment.
If you are going to have to have a face to face you would expect to hear from them in 2 - 4 weeks about an appointment. Then that might be up to 4 weeks later and then the decision can come out anything from 2 - 10 weeks later.
One member who wasn't going to have to have a face to face for a DLA to PIP transfer was told recently they would have to wait up to 10 weeks for an answer as there is a backlog.
So I'm afraid I cannot give you a timescale with any degree of certainty.

Just a word of advise use the guide on this site & prepare for your F2F assessment, in my case I’m grateful for this site in helping to get a fair award.
