assessment decision maker questions

Had assessment on 26th march 2013 for anxiety. My claim has been with a decision maker since 15th april 2013, apparantly they are scoring the assessment. How long does it take for the DM to make a decision? I usually hear something by now

What happens and much do you get in support and wrag groups?

    If that reply is aimed at me.
    I know what your question is, and the asnswer is it can take anything from 1 week to 5 months.

    If you had asked about appeals I would have said anything from 1 months to 14 months

    Oh and WRAG pays an extra £28 ish
    and Support pays an extra £34 - £55

    from experience anxiety and depression dont get scored, you need to be so mentally impaired to get scored.

    delays can from the DWP asking your GP for a more information if the decision maker believe there to be something in the report that needs a bit more clarifacation.

    the first youll find out is when your money stops or increses and that you have letter or phone call from them untill then wait.
