    Hello @Bhullar21

    Welcome to the community! :) I hope you are well?

    It is unfortunately, some people don't receive a text until the forms are being looked at and it can take up to 12 weeks.

    Yes they do sometimes send texts with updates. Although you sent it signed for delivery, this means nothing at all for DWP. It still has to go through the standard mail sorting process and post going to DWP isn't classed as arriving until it's been added to the system. It's not unusual for it to take a few weeks for this to happen. It's a waste of money sending anything to DWP this way. Proof of posting is all that's needed, which is free from any post office.

    If this is a new claim it could be several months, possibly longer. If it's a review then potentially up to a year, maybe longer.
