How long does an ESA Claim take?

My claim for transfer from IB to ESA was due on the 16/4/13. I know that they have received it, as I sent it signed for and they received it on the 14/3/13.

When can I realistically expect to hear the outcome? I am dreading the postman every day!

How long is a piece of string? It could take anything from a couple of weeks to a few months before you hear anything, you might or might not be required to attend a face-to-face assessment

How long until they make a decision?

I hope that you don't have to wait much longer for good news.
