    Hi,

    12 weeks is the approximate waiting times for the assessment for Income related top up.
    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.

    A new ESA claim takes about 3 weeks, not 12. I'm afraid the time i stated above of 12 weeks is the correct time frame for the underpayment decisions.
