As advised, it can take anything up to 8 weeks.

a had read that but wasn't sure if that was from when it was with decison makers

To be honest there's really no timescales because every case is different.

OK trying to forget about it and hope it's soon but it's been a very anxious wait  mind you compared to others I think iv been quite lucky

@lb35 least the arrears are paid now. Moving forward that’s a good thing.

yeah exactly to be honest I am not to fussed because it's one less thing to worry about and now I don't have the anxious wait of waiting abiut for decisons and things
