    HI,

    There's no timescales for any decision, whether it's ESA or PIP. It depends on backlog in your area and it's holiday time too so this will only add to the backlog.

    You can't really compare yourself to anyone other person because we all suffer from different conditions and we're all different. ESA is about the work you can do rather than the work you can't do and this is what they assess you on.

    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 they mostly go with the report. Good luck.
