45Third, as regards the fact that, since October 2016, VI did not receive the welfare benefits to which she claims to be entitled, it must be stated that, even if the judicial decisions in the disputes in the main proceedings, which relate to periods prior to that date, were to give rise to an obligation on HMRC to pay those benefits also in respect of periods subsequent to that date, it does not follow from the documents submitted to the Court that failure to pay those benefits would expose VI and her family to a situation of material destitution capable of justifying recourse to the expedited procedure (see, to that effect, judgment of 15 July 2021, The Department for Communities in Northern Ireland, C‑709/20, EU:C:2021:602, paragraph 44). Neither an individual’s simple interest – regardless of how important and legitimate that interest may be – in having the scope of his or her rights under EU law determined as quickly as possible, nor the economically or socially sensitive nature of a case means, in themselves, that that case must be dealt with within a short time, within the meaning of Article 105(1) of the Rules of Procedure (see, to that effect, order of 26 November 2020, DSK Bank and FrontEx International, C‑807/19, EU:C:2020:967, paragraph 38).
