With Mollie, it took 4 days, but this was back in the day when u cud nip up to the DWP and pick it up in a GIRO.

Taylors was recieved on a Monday, i got a letter on the Saturday and the grant was paid into my back on the Tuesday.

And the DWP got my form today so i shud hopefully get a reply next week.

Ive more or less spent it before ive got it.

Mine was received by them on the 26th January, and in my bank on the 2nd February.

It was already spent as well , I've just used it to clear the credit cards that we used to get the bedroom decorating and furniture on!

I sent the form and had reply and money within 10 days

Sending my form next week
