    Yes it's no fun waiting on that brown envelope as I have said have a Freind in Newcastle that has now been waiting ten weeks next Monday ,, 
    she has phoned DWP to be told her case was with the dissision maker and that was two weeks ago ,she has a heart condition ,, makes you wonder what this government thiink about its sick disabled ,, 
    but I think we know the answer to that one , but as said hope you here soon ,

    Thanks for that ,,, if that is the waiting time it's out of order 
    have been told to tell my Freind to get in touch with her mp to push it along 
    think that would be her best move as she just gets told its with the DM at DWP

    Hi @puretartan, and welcome! Hope the above responses help: the waiting times do appear to be very variable at the moment. Hope your friend gets the outcome they're hoping for!
