    How long is a piece of string? It could be anything from a few days to a month ... rarely more than that.

    ok cool, just the doctor said it normally only takes a few days after they get the report. or does it take longer for them to reply if they decline benefit giving them more time to find an excuse to refuse it or am i well off the mark lol
  • They have been generally quite quick recently, but that's no guarantee.
