Blimey the two ESA face to face assessment s I have had only lasted 30 mins . They must have hated the sound of my voice or being running behind schedule.

My WCA was around 5-10 mins - being early in the morning before I could function ended up going in my favour, as it backed up the severity of illness that I'd described on my form

Assessment length of time varies wildly depending on how your conditions affect you, how much information you put on the form and how many extra questions they need to ask you. Even a face to face assessment could potentially last between 1-2 hours for some people.

My shortest assessment has been 10 minutes and my longest was 1 hour and 10 minutes.

The length of the assessment doesn't really mean anything. Ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report, that will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

Rang last night said that hadn't received it yet and they would text me when it had been received and I asked if they could post me a copy
