    Hi,

    Between 2-12 weeks for a decision because backlogs are huge in a lot of areas. If successfully awarded, any backdated money owed is usually received before the decision letter.
    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.
