    With all benefit claims, there's really no exact timescales. It depends on each individual case and some take longer than others.
    Once a decision's been made you'll receive the decision letter within a few weeks. If it's a first time claim and there's an award, as always money usually goes into the bank before you receive the 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.

    As poppy123456 has explained, waiting times do vary @shazza1986. Your waiting time doesn't really indicate whether your claim will be successful or not, so try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I realise!).
