Good morning @Jamie1956 and welcome! I can't say for certain, I have read on Saga's website it should be around 3 weeks from the date the claim is received- that was updated in 2020 though. I suspect there might a large backlog in processing claims since the pandemic unfortunately.
I've marked this post as unanswered so that someone with more recent experience can hopefully answer for you!

It has been known for it to take between 8-12 weeks sometimes longer and backlogs at the moment are huge.
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.
