About 2 and a half weeks. But I got fed up and called them after 2 weeks to find out that I wasn't entitled!

They said I only worked 11 weeks not 13 in my test period.
They make the forms so confusing I'm surprised anyone claims!

It ranges I had a nightmare and waited almost 2 months without hearing anything and they messed me around so on and so forth but my friend who did it got a reply within 3 weeks :]

i had a letter back in less than a week with mine but it was a simple one as no wage slips etc due to self employment

I got my application back because I'd forgotten to sign it!

Took 2 weeks precisely so I'm hoping to get it back soon. Asked for it to start at the end of April anyway so no issues with delays.
