Hi. I sent my form to DWP on 1st Feb which I sent tracked & have heard nothing is this usual? I applied before & got a text msg saying they had received it. Do you have any idea how long it takes them to make a decision? Thanks
Welcome to the forum. In case you are not aware your real name may be showing as your Forum ID, if this is the case then I recommend that you change it as soon as possible. See
In answer to your question, the first thing I would do is check that DWP have received your form, make a note of the date, time and who signed for it, then phone DWP; 0800 731 0122 and ask if you form has been placed in the system.
There is a backlog with most departments at the DWP, I have come across a number of AA claimants whose decisions have been quite fast compared to PIP claimants, but again it does depends where in the country you live.
