have you contacted them to ask how your claim is progressing?

was going to ring tomorrow just did nt know weather it does take a while

[Deleted User]

depends how busy they are and how complicated or not your claim is

probably about 3 weeks but just call your benefit centre and ask how you claim is coming along. some have more of a backlog than others.

you can only claim income support if you

are a single parent with a child under 5

or

as a top up to carers allowance or ssp.
