waiting weeks for results of medical

Hi, I had my medical on 5th January, after being sent home from origional medical examination in December due to system going down. It was then rearranged to 5th January. It has now been 7wks and i have still not heard a thing from DWP. Is this normal, is their a backlog etc? Dont really want to phone them up as I dont think I could take it if they gave me bad news as they have put me through so much and dont feel brave enough to seek out an answer that may cause me more stress, i would be happy to know thier is a delay or backlog and this is not unusual. Just a bit worried what they are doing in taking so long etc. Thank you

See these threads:-

Concerned over time waiting.

Limited capability for work questionnaire.

i have looked at these threads and searched othr questions and answers but unfortunately i cant find anything related to people waiting on results to see if they have sucessfully passed medical or how long they have waited for an answer to see ifthey have passed medical, its more to do with waiting times on forms. do you know if 7wks is norm or could they have forgotten to tell me, would appreciate a little feedback as i am getting a bit anxious and cant bring myself to phone up as my dad is critical in hosp and couldnt bring myself to encourage possible potential bad news. Thank you

thank you, this has helped put my mind at ease, my mind is working overtime and due to the stress and anxiety i have experienced from the start of the process. Also at the end of the medical the examiner said i would hear in a couple of weeks and ive taken him at his word and therefore started to worry and read more in to it, id started to invisage a KGB style covert opperation to bring me down ha ha

Hi, I have just received the dreaded brown envelope after weeks of stressing and waiting on medical result. I am very confused though, not sure what im in, hope you can help. The letter says I am entitled to contribution based employment and support allowance. I think iam am in the wrag group but not sure. it doesnt give time limits etc and the money is worked out on living expenses of £67.50 then it says in black bold letters, limited capacity for work addition of £26.75 total £94.25, then it says however because i am entitled to CB ESA i get extra £116.15, makingit exactly the same as i was on when on IB. it says that CB ESA is taxable. does this mean i can do limited work? it also says i might also be required t attend a work focused health related assessment with a health pro to see how my disability is stopping me working. Am I in the wrag group and is it limited work? I do not have to go on income support and get a full time job does it
