    Hi,

    The letter is produced and sent the same time money has been authorised. So once you receive payment the letter is already on its way. Just depends how fast royal mail deliver it as it comes 2nd class. Mine took like 5 days to arrive after receiving payment.

    Hope this helps.
    I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

    I was advised that arrears take 7-10 days, which would be the same timeframe as the letter arriving.

    I got my letter 2 days after payment but i think it will obviously be different wherever you live? I live in a tiny village with about 6 houses lol so we don't always get post on time here? If you are in a larger town probably be quicker?
