Hi Goneshopping,

I think this is a one for one of the other mods who's next online - they've years more experience and knowledge than I do.
I haven't even heard of WRAG before.

Regards, Chris.

Usually, we would expect an assessment within a couple of months of the claimant's papers being passed to the Assessment Provider but there have been long delays in the ESA assessment process for years which are not helped by the DWP prioritising new claims.

So to answer your question, it could be a long time, six months or more or it could be next week, there's no way tell.

Hi Goneshopping

There is a massive backlog which is why the DWP are taking much longer than usual, I have recently read an article where DWP have stated that they are catching up and things should be back to normal in the not to distant future.
