16 weeks is reasonable from what we are currently seeing in the forum.

Hi....I am 6 weeks in now to my claim being received (recorded delivery)
What is the usual wait for a letter or phone call for my f2f assessment..

Can I also ask: Since not moving around for so long it was inevitable I would put weight on.

I am overweight, not massively, (3 stones) will this have a bearing on my assessment? I was thin initially when I first got DLA, its just not being mobile.

I'd expect an appointment letter 2-4 weeks after returning the form for a date 2-3 weeks further out.

My daughter is currently receiving DLA, we had the 'Your DLA is Ending' letter in December, made the phone call on 20th December.
Due to the Christmas Holidays & New Year Holiday period we received an extension to the time frame for it's return - (I argued that we didn't have the luxury of getting evidence together in good time - relying on Doctors/Clinics/Hospital Records during party season ;) )
We returned the PIP 'How Your Disability Affects You' Form on 16th February and received our Face 2 Face Appointment for 9th March.
The process, so far has taken 12 weeks - last week our Assessor told us that we should hear in about 8 weeks - I don't know whether there might be hold ups in different areas (we are West Wales) - but do know that, as of today, our F2F Assessors Report has yet to be received by the DWP.
