I am sorry there could any number of reasons why you have heard nothing yet. Wembley is a maildrop site, so it handles forms for a number of ATOS offices, so it is possible that your case is being handled by a different office with a different waiting time, they may have decided that you need to see a doctor rather than a nurse and because there are fewer of these you will have to wait, perhaps they have ramped up their case load following the Christmas break, and of course they may have decided that you do not need an assessment and have returned your form to the DWP.

Bottomline, the only way to know is to contact ATOS for an update.You should be able to phone them
