    Have you been called to your welfare office for interview yet, or just returned the forms? AFAIK it can take about 3 to 4 weeks from the time the form is in to an actual claim been awarded.

    Go to your local Health Board - they should be able to see on their computer system that you made a claim in a dole office and that it hasn't been awarded yet. Should pay you until the claim gets awarded.
