Just wondering if anyone knows the current timescales? I've looked around the Internet but can't find much from 2016 at all. Seems in previous years it's taken anything from two weeks to the suggested eight weeks and beyond depending on when it was sent.
I also wonder if anyone else was daft enough to send it as late as I did. The date to return for backdate was 28th October, and I sent the form guaranteed next day on the 27th, which was signed for in Wolverhampton at 5:42am on the 28th, so I know they got it, but it seems the Wolverhampton office is some kind of sorting office. Would it be marked as received that day or would I have to wait for it to go to the right department, therefore missing the timescale for a backdated payment?
Also did you get any confirmation that your form was received/in the system or did you hear nothing until award/refusal?
First time applying so not sure if the eight weeks is a generous estimate or closer to reality.
Thanks
