Timescales given are nothing more than a guide. Yes, it's stressful just waiting for the post to arrive and hopefully bring a letter with good news.

Please try to focus on something else while you wait, though I know that's difficult.

The wait is unfortunately quite long for a lot of benefits decisions just now @Rwbecca2020. When it comes to trying to stay calm, MIND have some techniques for a few things, I'll link them now.

Relaxation tips - Mind

What is stress? - Mind

Wellbeing - Mind

I hope there is some information or technique there that can help keep you calm. For me personally I find breathing exercises helps ground me and my mind. Try to get my mind focusing entirely on my breathing stops the worry spiraling.

Rwbecca2020
