How longs a piece of string, they are really backlogged so it's probably not unexpected
Just remember no news is good news so it could be to your advantage

HI,
It could be that the assessment report was sent for audit, if this happens it can significantly delay the decision process.
You can ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. Once you receive it take a look at the LCW and LCWRA recommendations towards the back of the report, this will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be. They usually go with the report and it's rare to go against it but you'll still need to wait for a decision to be made.
Unfortunately, there's no timescales for decisions. Backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed.

Surely if its gone to audit then dwp won't have it yet

If has been returned then of course they will have it but it could have been sent to audit to start with. Until you ring to request the report you won't know.
