I'm pretty sure I read on another thread yesterday 3-5 days 🙂 (I was wondering myself) x

Thank you. Good luck for yours. I would give them a call with them telling you it was with a case worker yesterday.

Oh thank you 😊
I tried to call this afternoon but after waiting an hour I had to leave for the school. I think I'll ring Monday now if I don't hear anything 😊.

Congratulations @NDandMe and @Mumtwo301 .

We still have ages to go but it is really helpful to see people updating. Stops me wondering whether ours might come through soon (it won't!)

Mumtwo301 · 23/06/2023 12:06

Anyone know how long payment comes through after text? Xxx

Mumtwo301 · 23/06/2023 09:10

I have to claims in one 9th and other 10th, got a message yesterday saying my child has been awarded🙌 I take it that’s just for one so waiting on the other! Hopefully today fingers crossed 🤞 xxx

NDandMe · 23/06/2023 05:18

I woke up this morning and saw back pay in my account - scan date 8 March. I can't tell what the award is from the amount, but it was more than I expected. So relieved - it will help us get him what he needs in life. Thanks very much to everyone on this thread for your support.

Nocloudinthesky · 22/06/2023 22:49

Hey lovely. My scan date is the 9th March and feeling really anxious like you! I rang today and was told it’s also with a case manager.. hopefully not too much longer now! Good luck to you, hope you receive the outcome your hoping for 😊 xxx

Ll333 · 22/06/2023 22:49

Thats good to know thanks my scan date 21st. Keep us updated 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I rang up today they said there on 6th march to the 13th this week mine scanned on the 20th so she said should be next weekend pr beginning week after and takes 3-5 days for payment for payment go In from the day they award it hope this helps someone

Ooh that’s exciting mine are 23rd/24th (two separate claims) so I assume I’ve got about 2 weeks left to wait! Can’t believe it’s already been 13 weeks since I sent the forms off, and I bet these two weeks will feel longer than those 13 did all together…

Hey guys getting so anxious now anyone from 10th March been awarded yet ? I rang this morning and I was told it was with case manager sounds promising anyone know roughly how long from there please 😊

ItsBritneyBitchhhh · 21/06/2023 20:28

Mumof4amaxingboys · 21/06/2023 20:23

Oh, good luck I hope it reaches them in time. I sent additional information by post and took 2 weeks from sending it to getting scanned on the system 🙂. When I asked on the phone she said even if wasn't scanned on in time they will take it in to consideration and if any changes need to be made to awards then that's possible 😊

Wow really! Last time I sent information on a Friday and it had reached them and was scanned in by Tuesday!

Thank you so much for the additional information as I had no clue that was possible. I’m keeping everything crossed🤞

Mumof4amaxingboys · 21/06/2023 20:23

ItsBritneyBitchhhh · 21/06/2023 20:12

Thank you!!!

I ended up sending it via the letterbox because we’re on week 13 and wanted it to reach asap. It’s only when I sent it, did I see the address on the DLA FB group🫣 I hope it’ll reach them with no issues but thank you so much anyway x

ItsBritneyBitchhhh · 20/06/2023 11:02

Does anyone have the FULL address of where to send additional evidence? The Freepost address can’t be recorded as there’s no postcode.

I don’t have the envelope with the full address on that allows you to send more evidence as I’ve already used it! Don’t want to take my chances with the postbox again haha. Thank you

Sorry I only just spotted this you've probably already found it but just incase 🙂

Hey

Our wait is finally over.

Scan date: 8 March
Award date: 20 June

We phoned up to find out what we were awarded. We were awarded higher rate care (can't get mobility yet due to age). This will make such a difference. 😀

That's great news congratulations 🎊

I'm pretty sure you get the disability element added on for universal credit. So your universal credit should increase Contact them they should be able to advise you what to do x

Pk12 · 21/06/2023 13:53

Hi everyone my little one was awarded middle rate care, I recieved a text this morning scan date was 9th March but awarded from 15th March if this helps anyone.
I don't know how this will affect universal credit though
