    Mine was 2 days short of 10 weeks from when they received it, 11 weeks since I posted it, but got backdated to first thurs after I started new job. Even though it took me 3 weeks to get forms posted to them.

    Its a scandalous wait time isnt it. I can see now why people prefere to stay on dole rather than go for low paying jobs. I changed jobs during the year and should have let them know but didnt because I stupidly thought that once you had FIS you had it for the year. I only found out when I went to reapply. Because of that I will owe them more than the arrears so I wont see any of it :rolleyes:.

    I didn’t send any more payslips after the first one and they didn’t ask for more.

    I posted my application on September 30th and have not heard anything back at all.
    I’m starting to get concerned plus I am also 57 Euro down every week now as a result of taking on the work

    Hi, started new job 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for employer to give me back my filled out WFP form. Employer in Dublin, I work in outlet in the West. So already 2 weeks behind, hopefully get it tomorrow. Does anyone know how long waiting times are at the moment? I’m only working part time so not much wages to live on till it comes through, thanks

    Ridiculous at this stage im a week short of 3 months with same answer every time i ring for 5 weeks ( 7-10 days you should receive a letter)

    I posted mine on the 14th of September, they received it on the 21st. I got an email last week saying I should get a letter in the next week to ten days. Is this just a generic answer they seem to be giving everyone?

    I posted mine on the 15th of October, I called them this morning to see if they received it. They said they received it on the 23rd and at the moment there is a 6-7 week backlog.

    For some reason I can't post the email address, if you go back to page 2 of these posts you'll find it. When I mailed them I was waiting 2 weeks for a reply.

    They received my application 24/08/18

    They were processing the 18/08/18 as of last Thursday, only moved forward 2 days processing in a full 7 days. Ridiculously understaffed.

    I'm expecting at least another 2 week wait.

    Id ask to talk to a supervisor if I was you. Mine took about 10 weeks. I asked to talk to one after 8 and they said they would priorities me. At the time I thought it wouldn't make a difference but looking at your wait, it might have.

    Hi, I sent my application on 15th August (new claims). They received it on 20th August. Meantime I sent another two emails to them. On 31st October they responded that they're dealing with claims that they received 17th August therefore it will be another 1-2 weeks before a decision is made for me. Today I received letter that stated that they want two more recent payslips. I hope that it won't take long.

    I wouldn't either, id be expecting it by Thursday week if no hiccups.

    After reading above about them requesting 2 more recent payslips from someone's claim they got to processing I took the preemptive move of emailing my last 2 weeks payslips to them asking them to add them to my paperwork to avoid adding another couple of weeks delay onto it.

    Update:

    Application received 24/08/18

    Received request for more payslips and letter confirming hours from employer 13/11/18

    Sent the 8x payslips and letter 19/11/18

    First payment received today 24/11/18

    From application received to first payment 13 weeks.

    No back payment yet just 1x weekly payment today so hopefully a back payment next week to catch up on bills.
