This is how long is a piece of string. And the panel may not exist how you are imagining it, or sometimes not at all. If the LA is going to issue, they must finalise by week 20 and to do that should send a draft by week 14. If the LA is not going to issue, they must inform you by week 16.

They may also make a decision and put the decision letter on a portal and not tell you it's there...
