The DWP have 40 calendar days from when they received the request to respond, if for any reason they are having problems dealing with then they have to write to you to tell you this.
Have you confirmed that they received your request?

You need to contact the DWP for an update if they have not processed the request and cannot provide a reasonable date when they will then you can make a complaint to the ICO, just do an internet search for it.

If they have still not contacted you this morning then call the DWP again.
