About waiting periods
You may have to wait a period of time to get Farm Household Allowance (FHA).
How long you have to wait will depend on your circumstances.
The time you spend waiting doesn’t count as part of the 4 years you can get FHA.
Liquid assets and ordinary waiting periods don’t apply to FHA claims.
Other waiting periods may apply.
