I sent my 1st application at the start of September and only got a refusal letter back the end of November, I appealed ir straight away and included more information and letters and proof of income etc so now I'm wondering how long it will take for my appeal decision to come through?

Did you appeal it or ask for a review ?

Hi does anyone know how long to get answer about renewal. Sent in form last week, got text that they’d received it. Just wondering if I’ll hear before they go on Christmas break.
Thanks

All depends on when your current claim is ending.
What date is your claim to be renewed from?

Start of February. So maybe won’t hear to mid - end January? No mad panic, just be nice to know it’s all good for next year. Thanks

You wont hear back until approx 1- 2 weeks before the current claim end date.
They arent going to process claims that far in advance.

I'd also suggest you forward your 2017 P60 soon as you get it.

Thanks. I’ll send in P60 once I get it.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I appealed their decision because their calculations were incorrect. I received a letter saying that it was sent to the correct office (even though it was sent to the deciding officer using the address that was provided) and I will receive correspondence when a decision is decided.
I'm just wondering how long the appeals process takes?

Usually you will hear a few days before your current claim runs out

Husband applied early Dec. Rang today saying we were struggling & they said it was being reviewed today. Not sure if it takes long to hear anything once it's reviewed or how long that takes.

Husband applied for FIS early Dec. Had a meeting in our social welfare office & handed over forms which were all checked there. Rang today & said we are struggling & they told him it was being reviewed today. Anyone know how long after that you hear decision? And does an inspector call to everyone or just certain cases?
