Just had my ESA Medical, what next?

I know many positive medical stories don't exist but heres mine.

We arrived at a building ajoined to a carpark, upon going inside there was a big foyer area with a flight of stairs and a lift to the appropriate area.

Anyway upon arriving in the Atos area the door was locked with a door buzzer + Speaker, which you had to announce yourself in before being let in(Obviously for security reasons)

The waiting room was rather big, not many people around but the seats were okay, all had arm rests, stuff like that.

Staff member was very friendly as she took our details and asked for ID, stuff like that.

Anyway in the waiting room I noticed the toilets had a sign saying *Customer toilets* it did make me think !!!!!!?... Anyways moving on.

A lady came to collect me(I was with my parents) we all went in together, she was kind and respectiveful.

The test was mostly the woman asking me about my personal life, and how my disability affects me. Of which I answered honestly and to her satisfaction, she listened, and acknowledged what I was saying too.

Although I don't really think much of the *Test* The staff inside were nothing short of excellent, kind and polite, I don't think I've ever been treated so well inside an establishment before.

There seems to be a lot of ATOS horror stories around but in this centre the staff were nothing short of excellent, but as with anything I'm wary as I don't know what my report might say, or what points I may be awarded.

Anyway my question is, how long do you think it'l be until I hear back?

And an honest piece of advice from me about people stressing about going into these medicals is, DON'T. These medicals are nothing short of someone asking about you, if you fail gather your evidence and hope for the best but these medicals are nothing at all to be feared.

Several weeks.
Phone up at least every couple of weeks, to make sure that the decision hasn't been made, and got lost in the post.
Once you get the decision, if it's negative, phone them up and ask for a written statement of reasons, and once you get that, post it, and further comment can be made.
