We are experiencing a high demand on the service at present, this is causing a longer than average wait time for applications to be registered and assessed, additionally the current housing crisis is having a significant impact on the wait time for applicants to secure a suitable home. We are doing everything we can to help our customers, especially those with a priority need. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
