I sent a State Pension claim form with 1st Class Signed For service bought on Royal Mail website, it has been 4 days and the only status I have on the parcel is: Accepted at Post Office
How long does it take to deliver 1st Class Signed For envelope?
The DWP post address is also weird:
Pension Service 8
Post Handling Site B
Wolverhampton
West Midlands
WV98 1AF
Should I be worried it didn't reach DWP and resend the form?

Places like the DWP will received probably hundreds, if not thousands if items that need signing for. They likely get a delivery direct from the local Mail Centre and will sign for stuff in bulk. It can take a few days for the confirmation to update

Re: 1st Class Signed for Accepted at Post Office and no updates
To be frank, and please remember we are an unofficial site, you won't until either the relevant government department confirm they have received it, or the tracking updates.
Unfortunately, it does seem to take a long time for the system to update, especially for addresses that get a lot of items per day, and the government will.
From experience answering similar questions on here, I think it has probably arrived safe and sound and it's a case of waiting for both systems to catch up.
However, if you are concerned it may be best to speak to an official representative of Royal Mail or the government department that is involved.
