Hi, BF560

Hello @Tigereyes134
Welcome to the community!I hope you are well?
Can I ask, what do you mean by being appointed? Have you asked for an appointee or to be an appointee?0 -
Hello Hannah, I've asked to become an appointee for my mum, just wondering how long it takes once the BF56 form has been filled out to receive the BF57 form0
-
According to the GOV website:Have you had the interview yet? Unfortunately there isn't a timescale on the GOV website. Hopefully another member may know
- DWP arranges to visit the claimant to assess if an appointee is needed.
- DWP interviews you to make sure you’re a suitable appointee.
- During the interview, you and the interviewer fill out an appointee application form (Form BF56).
- If DWP agrees with the application you’ll be sent Form BF57 (confirming you’ve been formally appointed to act for the claimant). You’re not the appointee until this happens.
