How Long for IHT400 to be reviewed fully?

In January I submitted an IHT400 for my Mothers estate. In February I received a response from HMRC advising that they had done a provisional calculation for inheritance tax due (which was paid) along with the advice that "We will now start looking at your account in more detail.....This means that the amount of tax and interest shown on our provisional calcuations may not be the final amount of inheritance tax due"
Has anyone any experience of how long this can take? My mothers estate was relatively simple, a small house and some savings in an ISA. SUbsequent to the house sale I submitted an IHT 38 as the house sold for less than declared on IHT 400 but I have heard nothing back since February.
To make matters worse I am unable to get through on the helpline which is "temporarily unavailable":(
