    Hi like anything with dwp there are no set timescales and every case is different 

    I would leave it a couple of weeks then query it

    Hi, 

    sorry to jump on post. 

    In the same situation at the moment, wondering how long you waited until you received payment? 

    TIA

    This is an old thread you've posted on and the person you've quoted hasn't returned since August 2021. It can take a few weeks to receive any money that's owed. First they need to recalculate your past statements to work out exactly how much they owe you. Once this is done you'll receive a letter onto your journal telling you how much exactly they owe.
