    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.
