Decision maker

Hi All,,
We were asked to verify a child living with us as he is on a 50 50 living arrangement but my partner gets CB for him and has a mediation document to say that he will claim all related benefits for this child and mum the 2nd child. Turns out mum was doing both so was sent to a decision maker. Does anyone know roughly how long decision makers take as its been almost 3 months and they just keep saying its been looked at.
Many thanks

Hi there @loubutton77 and a big welcome to the community!
Unfortunately I can't give you a firm answer on this, sometimes it could take a few weeks, others a few months. Hopefully a regular will be a long shortly with some better answers.0 -
There's no timescales. All you can do is put a message onto your journal and ask if a decision has been made on the child element.
