Hi,

It can take much longer than a week to get through the DWP postal system and be scanned onto their system. I would not be concerned about it yet.

Payments usually do get stopped if they don't receive it by the deadline. Unless you have a vulnerable marker on your account.

To let people know. You can get a signed for delivery from post office for a discount if you use the freepost envelope that they sent the form with. The postage was already paid by DWP so you only need to pay approx £1.50 for the signature upgrade. It isn't fully tracked but it will say when it arrives with a tracking number if that makes sense.

There is no need to pay for a tracked delivery, just take it to the post office and ask for a free receipt "for proof of posting".
