Hi there
It does seem to be a long wait I would give them a call to see what is happening
Every case is different depends if there is lots of evidence , backlogs of decision makers and so on
We do hear of people that have waited this length if time -
Welcome to the community @jamesmaddison123
I'm sorry you've been waiting for so long. Have you had a chance to give them a call?
As Turn2Us outlines:Some reconsiderations take 2 weeks, some take several months.If you have not received your Mandatory Reconsideration Notice, it is a good idea to call the DWP after:
- 2 weeks to check they have logged your Mandatory Reconsideration
- 8 weeks to check how much longer it will take
- 12 weeks to chase again
If you are not happy with how long a Mandatory Reconsideration is taking, you may want to complain or tell your MP.
