    HI and welcome.

    There's no timescales. Under normal circumstances it can take about 10 weeks, sometimes longer. Due to Covid19 they maybe short staffed etc. Most MR decisions remain the same though, so it's likely you'll be taking it to Tribunal.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
