Hi sixtysix,
It's a crystal ball situation I'm afraid. Lots of factors affect the timescale of awaiting a reply. There could be such things as level of staff available or amount of claims for example that is delaying it. I myself have waited up to 2 years in the past, and recently read on here that someone has been waiting nearly a year.
The queues on the PIP enquiry line are usually long too, I find often a minimum of 45 minutes waiting time, and you've no idea what place you're queued at either, because the system doesn't tell you.
Other claimants may be able to share similar experiences of their waiting times to hopefully give you a rough idea, but like I said before - it's all just a guessing game unfortunately.
Regards, Chris.

Review Paperwork returned Feb '23
Telephone Assessment Jan '23 (cancelled by Capita)
Rearranged Assessment this week (Feb '23)
So, seems to be an average of 11 Months at this time + waiting time for DWP Replies

11 months and still waiting. We got a year's extension 'pending decision' a month before the existing award expired.
