Once these are issued does anyone know how soon these are posted out?

     You asking about DWP funeral grant? 

     Mine was sent directly to the funeral director and took about 3 weeks

    The twice I've done Probate in the last couple of years, I got the paper grants in the post about 48 hours after getting the email saying Probate had been granted.  So I found it very quick - but I know from other threads here that others have experienced longer delays in the paper arriving.

    They state "You should receive the Grant of Probate in the post within 10 working days"
