Hi Annie
Yes, you should receive a letter when the process is completed, but I'm afraid, we are unable to give you any sort of timesacle. The DWP have had IT problems and we know because of Covid there is a backlog of benefits cases. The only way you can find out is to ring and enquire and see how far they have progressed your case.
