    I rang them on friday and they had both sick notes on the system and had issued my normal payment but not my backdated one but did say they have accepted it and agreed it will be backdated.
    can anyone advise how long this takes?

    Depends on the system. Why not call them on Tuesday and find out from them, seen as they put the requests for payment through.
