If you have had an assessment then we would expect a Decision in about 2-4 weeks, so if it is now 7 weeks from the interview then I would recommend that you contact the DWP for an update.

They will write to you with details of the Decision.

I would not expect them to phone unless it is a failure and not always then. Decisions have to be notified in writing so there will always be a letter.

It's not impossible that they have returned the report to Maximus to take account of the new diagnosis.

We're not aware of any specific delays in the Decision making part of the ESA process.
