Dole waiting times in DLR

Lands Leaving · 2009-07-12 21:37:47

Can anyone give me an idea how long I'll be waiting for my dole to come through in Dun Laoghaire? I signed on about 3 weeks ago now and am waiting for a means test for jobseekers allowance. Whats the average waiting time? Also will I be backdated to when I signed on and paid for the weeks I'm waiting?
