    Once the money is paid it takes 3-5 working days to go into your bank account. The automated payment line will not give details of any money you're owed.

    Money owed is paid first. Then your payments will be every 4 weeks. The decision letter will explain everything to you.

    @buntytmw it took about 2 and a half months to get my assessment and 4 weeks after that for decision

    @buntytmw Asking for a copy can often cause more anxiety than is needed, it’s only a recommendation too and is down to the DWP Decision Maker.

    They've already requested it according to their other thread. I agree with you, it does cause a huge amount of needless anxiety.
