How long are renewals taking this year?

Hi
Has anyone recently renewed? if so how long did it take to go though?
I renewed over the phone last week, normally its done in a few days but have changed a lot this year, we was working last year but this year we recieve ESA, PIP, Carers allowance and child tax credit so don't have a clue about how long it takes.
I am a little worried my payments might change once its done as most years it does once its been finallised.
How long did yours take to get the revised payments into the bank?
Thanks

Hi
We went through the whole childcare check a few years ago, it took ages to sort out but in the end they owed me money lol, was a nighmare as they wanted reciepts from childcare which I didnt keep and had also changed providers too so had to go back to the old child care and get the details from them too.
I've seen a few people being checked this year for childcare and also children in further educutation.
I'm hoping I don't have to go through another check as mine are only young children and no child care.
I didnt think I would have to renew this year as we are claiming benefits I thought they'd get all the info off dwp but got the big white enverlope which needed a reply
I only had to confirm that we have been recieving esa and carers the whole tax year that was it, they didnt want any amounts or anything.
Hope yours doesnt take too long to sort out
