HI,

My daughters ends in February 2021 and she also hasn't received hers yet but i haven't rang them. If they want they can ring but it may take them a while to answer.

Hi @samfits99 I would tell your friend not to worry too much as I expect hey are working through the backlog they will have . Lots of people were due assessments who award was ending and had it extended by 6 months so they will be catching up with these 

I would imagine though I may be wrong they are working in date order for each area

Backlogs aren’t really that great at present.

Most delays are with getting post out at present but they’re just delays. A jack of post doesn’t mean you’ve been forgotten about.

@mikehughescq thanks for that. I no it’s asking how longs a peace of string but when do you think F2F appointments will go back to normal?

@janer1967 I have passed your message on thank you. I said to him probably mid October it will come but that’s just a complete guess!

@poppy123456 I’ve said to my friend I reckon he will get it mid October as a educated guess. but only time will tell!
