lol yes agreed . but my question was . if she could see it . would she have been ae to tell me or is it standard that they only tell you by letter ?

Hi
They do sometimes tell you over the phone depends whi you speak to luck of the draw
Surprised they said they would call you though you are normally informed by letter
It takes 24 hours for their system to update with the decision so that will be why she couldn't see it -
they said they would call and also send a letter . i was told also last week that it is in my favour . and the assesor recommended support group . would you know how long after i get that decision letter until i get payment/backpay if owed any . thankyou
-
It can take a while for back pay but in some cases they have had the money before the letter
Payments should start in next pay after decision if you are entitled -
hi again im also cur
