Hi, Im a little confused. I spent 4 years fighting the dwp for my pip award. I won back in the beginning of May. My pip award was all done in a timely fashion and I now receive this. My Esa SPD award with a 2 year backpayment attached to it is still in process. I have phoned them twice in this time and on the lastcall I was told this very rudley. "We have a indefinite time to sort this out" and basically to stop ringing. I mean i have only rang twice in the last 4 months!. Is this true, that I could literally be waiting forever for my award?

Thanks on advance.

    An SDP award shouldn't really take that long because it's a quite straight forward disability premium. It may take a little longer than usual for you because it's a 2 year backpayment but i would have expected it to be sorted by now.
    Try contacting your local MP to ask them for some help, this usually gets DWP moving. https://members.parliament.uk/members/commons
