Hi jessicaparadine
I would expect you to be contacted within the next six weeks, but that is a guess, and in the current climate, it's impossible for us to know. You might hear from them next week, but it could be much longer. (It won't be a year).
If you want to understand the assessment process, you can read the details in the Guide to PIP Claims and Reviews. It will run you through the whole process.
