    Applied 21st January for wfp. Got it today into bank account with arrears included. 8 weeks in total. Rang wfp to make sure money was from them.

    7 weeks is it not? We applied the Monday after you, so I'm hopeful now

    We're only on one income and things are getting desperate, so hoping that we might be within the next two weeks!

    Just got an email to say that it will be 3 to 4 weeks before our claim is even looked at because the waiting time is now 9 weeks. Devastated.

    What date did you send yours in/did they acknowledge receipt? Mine was received 30 Jan so just wondering if I'm before or after you. Really could do with it at this stage.

    You would be ahead of me likely, we sent it in on the 28th and it was acknowledged the 5th of Feb.

    So I'm a week ahead of you. So probably 2/3 weeks more for me. Feck - I was hoping this or next week.

    I'll let you know when I hear anything so at least you'll know yours is imminent.

    I was hoping the next 2 to 3 weeks myself. Savings are long gone at this stage! Hopefully you get sorted soon!

    Just to let everyone know I received my first weekly payment and a letter saying my arrears will be paid in "due course".

    It will be backdated to the week after I started work. I emailed them to ask why it isn't being backdated to the week I started work as that's when my jobseekers payment stopped.

    If I remember right, JS is paid in arrears so there would be an overlap. On the flip side, that's two people here very recently that got their payments quickly enough and they sent us our letter dated the 5th of February so hopefully we're next! :D

    I rang today and was told my claim was approved on Saturday that I would receive a letter in the coming days. Anyone know what day the payments are made? Will the back dated money be included with the first payment? Thanks in advance.

    (My date was 1st of April nearly 10 weeks waiting)

    Payments are Thursday as already stated but we only received our backdated pay a fortnight ago - just dont rely on it!

    For renewal? Thought it’d be a lot faster, have you finished old payment now then?

    Hi. They received my renewal form 5 weeks ago, does anyone know how long renewals are taking at the moment? Think last payment is this week. Starting to get worried.

    just to update everyone I rang wfp yesterday and they are currently working on the 28th of may I got a confirmation letter for the 23rd of may I asked the woman on the phone if I have been approved or not since they are past my date of confirmation and she said it is still with the deciding officer does anyone know if it will be a much longer wait like I thought they should know by now if it is approved or not because my letter was for the 23rd of may and they are working on the 28th. By the time I get it I'll have to renew it 🤣🤣

    Hi, just wondering if I'll be eligible for the wfp. I've being registered since 19th June with acknowledgement letter. I'm separated from my husband over 3 months but didn't get a separation agreement, we just parted ways. I have sent everything in that they wanted?
