    Hi, 

    It does sound positive. I think they have to ring and ask incase you have been in prison/care home etc since they received your mandatory reconsideration as I think that can affect your application. 

    It might be longer than 7/8 weeks because of the time of year. I got mine in April. Good luck!
    They ask these questions because the whole time you have been in hospital or prison the amount back dated will not be the same because any time spent in these institutions the government are paying for you already , so they then deduct any amount of what they owe x

    That's not quite correct. For time in hospital it's 28 days, the day you go in and come home are not counted. If you then go back into hospital within 28 days they will be classed as linking days and will be added to the days you were previously in hospital.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
