You'll most probably have another assessment, as most people have these even for review. There's no timescales for any of this, it all depends on the backlog in your area. Once you've had the assessment you can ring DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report. This will give you some idea what the decision will be as mostly they go with the report. Good luck.

Had my F2F on 5th December, no decision yet though got a letter about a week after the assessment to say they had all the information they need.

Ring and ask for a copy of the assesssment report if you haven't already done this. It's always good to have this if needed at some point in the near future.

I phoned today, report received 7th December but no decision yet. The guy looked on the system and said the DMs were working on reports received 9th November, so they are effectively one month behind.

did you ask for a copy of the report to be sent to you? This can come in handy if a decision doesn't go in your favour.

No, I’ll cross that bridge if I get to it. This is my 3rd F2F and I’ve had exactly the same outcome both other times so I’m hopeful this one will go the same way.
