Hi there..its not a matter of them just letting people who are turned down know
Each claim will go to the bottom of the decision maker pile of work and not be looked at till it reaches the top of the pile
Have you called them at all to ask how your claim is progressing this can prompt it to be looked at -
@janer1967 no i got a letter few weeks ago to say that they had all my information and when i rung they said no Decision yet and may 3 to 5 more weeks waiting time

I note from another thread that you recently received a copy of your report, which suggests that it's not that long ago that you had your assessment.Although you were told a timescale of between 3-5 weeks for a decision, it can actually be between 2-12 weeks, sometimes longer because backlogs are so long at the moment.The decision hasn't yet been made so you don't know if you've been refused. They mostly go with the report but not always.There's nothing more you can do until a decision's been made.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.

(PS - Jane, there's a typo in your signature 'hunan' - I wouldn't say anything if it was a post but as it's a sig thought you'd like to correct it ) -
@OverlyAnxious thanks for pointing that out I will correct it

@janer1967, hi just a quick up date , i rung jane and they said they sent letter out on the 20 , so wait and see , thank you .

@poppy123456, i was thinking refused cause alot of people on here had a payment before letter . Think just preparing my self mentally for the worse outcome . Thank you for all of you on here i have learnt alot . -
You should get it soon let us know how you get on
-
@janer1967, can i ask you , is it everyone that gets a payment before letter please .
-
Usually a payment arrives in your bank before the decision letter.
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.
