oh no!! did they give you a reason why??

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

thats no good.... it is all so complicated, i had to read over the rules again n again while i was fillin mine in. oh well i hope you get somethin else in regards to help financially instead.

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.
