ESA Averages

Two queries:

1. About how long is the average face-to-face assessment?

2. Claimants are waiting longer for a decision with or without a face-to-face assessment. Is the current average waiting time known?

Thanks,

MW

Hi MW,

1. They average around 30-40 mins in duration.

2. According to information provided as a result of The FOI request on this rightsnet post, the average waiting time is 51.1 days. :
