As the title states...recently accepted a CICA award and just being nosy as to when I can expect it to come through (hopefully this side of Christmas!)

They received my acceptance on 31st Oct. I know they state 20 working days, but the guy on the phone said it is usually 5-10 but have read online it can be much longer than the 20 working days.

Does anybody have any recent experience?

How long from posting your acceptance letter and then confirming they received it added it to your claim did it take for the money to actually land in your bank can you remember how many days was it within the 20 working days?
