Hi Lesley
If you have used your real name, please change it, as the forum posts can be seen on the internet.
I'm afraid that we can't give you any meaningful timeframe as we just don't know. Some people have heard within eight weeks, and others have been waiting up to eighteen months. The only way to find out is to ring the DWP and ask about the current status of your claim.
