@gingergingerginger ill leave it I haven’t got a number to give them

Isaacsmammy · 01/11/2022 18:27

I’m the 27th July and still had no news. Think I’ll ring again tomorrow for an update.

Shellbel10 · 01/11/2022 18:18

Going from what previous people have said once you’ve been awarded money only takes a couple of days to go in. Yes if you ring they’ll tell you the rates. Hope this helps

gingergingerginger · 01/11/2022 18:18

Thanks @Twinboyz . That's helpful.

@Shellbel10 are you going to contact them with a number, or leave it do you think?

Chebs81 · 01/11/2022 18:13

I got a text to say son was awarded, letter on way. Scan date Aug 1st. How long does money normally take to go in and if I ring will they say what he was awarded please.

Just saw on a Facebook page that someone has been awarded and scan date was 1st August.

Hi there @gingergingerginger - I didn’t put a national insurance number down either, my son is 2. I have been told that his award is marked as likely and has been sent off now to a team that will create his reference number. As far as I can tell from google this “Reference” is what will later become his national insurance number. It’s been with that team a couple of weeks now annoyingly, but there’s not a lot I can do in the meantime. My scan date for a new application was July 14th! I will call again on Thursday to see where it’s at. Hope that helps x

Shellbel10 · 01/11/2022 16:05

I’m the exact same I left it and thought it was for over 16s

gingergingerginger · 01/11/2022 16:03

I've sent my son's form off recently, but didn't include a NI number. Honestly, when I saw that box I ignored it because I thought it was only for over 16s.

Do you think I should write to them to update? Or maybe call? I don't even know what number I'm supposed to be giving them tbh. Child benefit? Might be able to dig out a letter about that.

Shellbel10 · 01/11/2022 15:08

Check bank account sometimes it’s paid in before you receive the letter

Shellbod81 · 01/11/2022 13:08
