Awwww bless you Mike, 🙂 we’re all behind you and hoping the best. 🙂
Yes, they will send the report out by post, if they have it. Hopefully the assessor will have got straight onto it and it will have got to the DWP, if not just leave it a couple of days and try again.
Not sure how long it will take, I rang for mine, waited two weeks for it to arrive before phoning again, only to find that it hadn’t been sent, though when I rang the 2nd time, the call handler gave me my decision, which had already been sent out by post a few days earlier but I had yet to receive it, so the call handler sent me a copy of the report and a copy of the decision which arrived 2 days later and still a whole week before the original decision letter arrived. Other people will have their own tales to tell regarding how long it takes for the report to arrive but suffice to say, it will turn up when it turns up, lol 😀 but it should be no longer than 2 weeks before you ring again if need be.
Anyway, with a bit of luck they will give you an ongoing award so that you’re not inconvenienced in such a manner again, or at least for a very long time.
