Hi, i sent my letter off for income support not last thursday, the thursday before. My local job center doesnt have a letter box outside like some do so i sent it through the post office. I still havent heard anything from them and its been 11 days..is it normal not to hear anything for that long? How long does it normally take? I need the money so i can get my maternity grant as they wont give me it until i get some kind of benefit and i'm not on any other benefit. I need the grant asap as i've been in hospital countless times in the last few weeks and they said im showing signs of going early, i need to pay for the travel system i've ordered. I just wanna know how long it takes to hear back from them i guess, thanks x
