    The assessment may have stopped for safe guarding issues and this can happen. It can't be a paper based assessment if you did part of the assessment. What they mean is they are now writing the report based on all the information they have.
    Once the report is returned to DWP a decision can take up to about 12 weeks, sometimes longer.
  • For that they never said much and left me in total confusion Thankyou for you clarification appreciate it
