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.
