ESA timescales

Hi, I've just sent back my ESA50 claim form, I've been in the support group since they replaced incapacity benefit, was on that since 1999 :eek:
Anyway, last January I filled the same form in and sent it back, heard nothing, until I got this one at the beginning of March. So filled it in again, and sent it with all my evidence.
Any ideas on timescales? I'm sure they'll want me to have a face to face, which I'm dreading, but I'm in West Yorkshire and wondered what the time scales are like for turning things round? Especially since I went over a year, heard nothing, and had to fill the form in again.
Appreciate any input

I'm also in W. Yorks. I did my paperwork in April last year and was finally put in support group in September. Don't know if things are going quicker/slower this year ...0
