    Two weeks, three days and five minutes.

    Housing benefit is administered locally, wait times will depend on their current workload.

    This - will depend on workload.
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.
  • Ha ha ha, so precise there Wales (I was born in Wales btw :-)) awesome.

    They processed original in about 3 weeks give or take and they were usually only 2-4 days behind but receiving to dealing with it, but I've seen 2 months mentioned in some places....it's only been 2 weeks and it is complex...was just worried that 2 months was a bit long...

    Thank you both :-)
