hi

it has only taken me just under a year to fill the form in but i sent it off today!!!!!

How long did it take to recieve the back dated money and it all to be set up?

thanks

A few months I think. It can only be back dated for 3 months from when they get it so unfortunately you won't get all 11 months

at least its 3months from when they get the form, not from when they get round it sorting it out!!

do you get a confirmation letter or anything to say they received it and are progressing it?
