Sorry its not much help, but can be anything from 6, 8 weeks upwards, a lot depends on the area your in - is a heavy case load, whether they need to check with your medical records.
I know there has been quite a few threads and othes experiences, may give you a better idea. Hope it went ok, xxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
I live in London and was placed in the work related activity group - my medical was in June and I was told I'd hear in a month or so but it only took two weeks not sure how standard that is and what not!0

It can vary a great deal, some people hear in just a few days, some a few weeks and for some it can be months.0 -

In the mean time, ring up the DWP and ask them to send you a copy of the medical report (they will do so free of charge).
you will basically be able to tell usually from that if you are likely to have passed or failed, but dont be shocked it you read a work of fiction.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
[/greenhighlight][redtitle]
The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -
oh thanks, i didnt know i could have a copy. i did wonder why she didn't show us what she had written, i thought she probably wasn't written exactly everything i said. so i will do that tomorrow. thank you!0
