Hi... Hope everyone ok ... I’ve sent my daughters MR in the post on Thursday do I need to ring them to make sure they have received it.... the dead line is today ... it was tracked and send that it’s been delivered....

It was kind of a waste of money sending it tracked because it goes to a mail sorting centre first and they sign for it. Therefore it might not actually be with DWP yet. It can take up to a few weeks to be scanned onto the system. I would wait before you contact them. 

In future  it’s best just to keep a copy of what you have sent and send it normal post and ask for proof of postage.

It’s fine even if it arrives after one month. You can do an MR up to 13 months after the date of the decision being challenged.
