    Hi @Lullaby2025 and welcome to the community. Was it confirmation they've received this information, or confirmation your claim was successful please?

    hi @Lullaby2025 I received texts confirming receipt of my application and sick note and also didn’t hear anything for ages. If you’re at the same stage it was about 8 weeks before I got a letter telling me I had been booked in for a telephone assessment. Having looked at other posts this timeline seems fairly normal. Hope you hear soon and good luck with your application
