@Gemma96x have u had a decision from UC yet? I have a letter on my journal stating they agree with special circumstances that delayed me up dating them and my UC will be adjusted from July but no mention of back pay. Has anyone else received info on back pay or is just paid?xx

I haven't had any back pay yet still waiting in case manager to message on journal from last wk x

ChantelleB · 18/11/2022 16:25

Scan date is 19th august and was sent to a decision maker yesterday ! Still no decision. Hopefully I get one soon x

Hi all

I’m 17th September, god the wait is horrible isn’t it!

Lostatsea10 · 18/11/2022 15:50

Sorry that didn’t make sense, I shouldn’t type whilst distracted! I meant how long did it take for you to receive your scan letter, after you sent the application?

Zacksmom91 · 18/11/2022 15:47

Me either to be honest just a few bits diagnosis report mainly and hospital letters x

Lostatsea10 · 18/11/2022 15:45

How long between sending and receiving your scan letter did it take?

13 week wait will take it to 6th of December I think so fingers crossed xxx

Hopefully we’ll hear something before Christmas I’m not very confident my daughter will get it as I didn’t have a lot of evidence to send in 😞 xx

Hi all sorry for jumping on my scan date 06/09
i rang this morning and was told the decision should be made by early December … I have been following the posts for sometime and remained quiet due to the fact they are still in august but Septembers are being looked at in due course ! Anxiety is building on waiting for a decision now but good luck to everyone x

My scan date is also September 6th xx

How long are you usually waiting for when you ring

Mummytolucia · 18/11/2022 13:59

Ours scanned 21st sept got letter 7th Nov saying sorry they haven't looked at it yet. Coming up to 9th week next week so hoping it's not much longer around another 4 weeks is my guess

Smyth19 · 18/11/2022 13:32

I'm 12th Sep and got the same text today was hoping meant they were looking at it

Meli3 · 18/11/2022 13:29

Hopefully will all get good news soon unfortunately there's a huge backlog and i was apologised to about it today we just have to sit tight and hope for the best. It's really hard not to worry though. Good luck everyone x

joannef83 · 18/11/2022 13:27

We were scanned the 26th August. I have called today and they have said that it should be looked at next week but to call by the end of November if I hadn't heard anything

Gemz8 · 18/11/2022 13:26

Hi Guys,
so I’ve been following the posts but not messaged up until now. They received my DLA forms 14th Sept. I’ve received a text today saying we are still looking at your DLA child claim. When a decision is made we will confirm it in writing. There is no need to contact us about it. I mean I don’t believe they will have looked at it yet with the massive backlog. I’ve sent quite a bit of evidence off but I’m worried I didn’t actually write enough on the forms when it talks about the child’s needs and how long it takes to do things. Wishing you all luck xx

Meli3 · 18/11/2022 13:26

@Fah66 they are working on in and around 19th August at the moment x

Fah66 · 18/11/2022 13:13

So i called them this morning. And mine hasnt even been touched yet. And my application was received on the 7/09. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Shellbel10 · 18/11/2022 12:01

Thank you @dandymum the wait is nearly finally over

dandymum · 18/11/2022 11:47

@Shellbel10 mines been with case manager since 15th there’s a note for them to come back to it apparently so might be trying to ring around people, told me if I haven’t heard by Tuesday to call back at 9am for an answer 😩

Meli3 · 18/11/2022 11:25

23rd August, surely yours shouldn't be long now good luck 🤞 xx

HeathenPlayingHouse · 18/11/2022 11:23

@Meli3 It's 17th August, how about yours?

Meli3 · 18/11/2022 11:19
