This question was answered on 7th September 2017
CICA has a target for 2017/18 to decide 85% of new cases within 12 months of receipt. It is recognised there will always be complex cases which need to take longer, for example if the applicant’s medical treatment is ongoing or their level of recovery is not yet known.
