    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.
    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.

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

    @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.
