Sorry for the long gap in replying.

I have rung up about the report but as of last Friday the DWP had not had it. I am more nervous than ever this time. Especially as I hear of people saying they got a text from DWP within a week saying their report was back and a letter a couple of days later. Just convinced I am going to become one of these zero pointers :(

Hi LadyLuna

Did the DWP say they would send you a copy of the report when it arrived?

As BIS has stated below, you can usually contact DWP for a copy of the assessors report a couple of days after the assessment, even during lockdown.

Hi
Yes I did request it and they said they would send it when they got it. The telephone assessment was only 2 weeks ago so I don't expect anything yet.

How long on average are people awaiting for reports?

Hi LadyLuna

It normally takes about ten days - sometimes sooner. Obviously the circumstances are not normal but I would not leave it and I would ring again just to check that it is being sent out.

Ok, thank you. Will ring today.

Last time it took weeks because the assessor went on holiday. No excuse for that this time!

Will let you know any news.

Ok, even though I requested it to be sent, it has not been. Report been with them almost 2 weeks. The guy on the phone said he would send it yesterday. So nervous about this because thinking back to the assessment, she kept asking if I have had an overnight stay in hospital and had I been offered bariatric surgery. They believe I am no longer the size I am, which is so infuriating as they cannot see me via telephone assessment.
