Hi not sure if there is a discussion about this but just wondering is the 12 week waiting period from when i sent the form for backdated pay back or from when they started procession. Just rang up to check on the process of my claim and this snotty woman wouldn't even look into my file. All I got was it takes 12 weeks and they'll write to me then goodbye...
