Hello, I am in the UK and wondered if anyone else who got an assessment here could tell me how long it took to get feedback/results?

My assessment ended in September so I have now been waiting over 3 months. Is this normal? I have contacted the team twice, the last time around 6 weeks ago. They asked when I'd be available to come for the feedback so I gave them my availability and they said they'd contact me shortly. But I still haven't heard from them.

Call them back again. Continiously hound them until they answer your question and either give a time frame or a set appointment date. Is live in Canada and only had to waitna month for mine, it would have been lsss but the psychologist needed to consult with another psychologist while making my diagnosis. 3 months is too long.

I waited about a month and a half - and my assessor stressed that this was made longer because she went on holiday for a few weeks in the middle of it.

I was a fairly complex case and they needed to consult other professionals.

Time to hound.
