In hospital for the foreseeable future (snapped my leg in 3 places playing American Football)

As I am relatively new to my job, I am not covered for payment and am essentially on unpaid leave (they'll pay me when I'm better)

Anyways, applied for this Exceptional Needs Payment with illness benefit - think its a once off 100 to cover toiletries, pyjamas etc) and then 30 quid a week into my bank account.

Does it take long? Read about it here
