It was about 8 weeks from
scan date plus 2 weeks from when firms were requested so a total of 10 weeks backpay.

I’ve been waiting 8 weeks now so I’m hoping it isn’t too much longer to wait. I sent extra evidence so I don’t know if that makes it slower or not.

Good luck I hope you find out soon! You could always give them a ring to check if your additional evidence has been received and scanned and ask if it’s been allocated to somebody yet.
