    Yea i sent my mandatory reconsideration notice and sscs1 form to the appeals centre.

    Im just wondering how long it takes them to notify DWP and Me that have got it.
  • From experience with dealing with the Social Fund and JSA, the DWP won't inform you until they've actually made a decision. In my experience, it is best to call up the relevant department each day until they confirm they've received it.

    The DWP is in a shambolic state administratively and the Mandatory Reconsiderations that I've dealt with have taken a minimum of four to six weeks.

    Also, get your MP on the case.
