Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Anybody had success backdating till the day of call to request form? My scan date if a few days after due to them taking a while to scan it in. The lady said that award date on the system is when I originally called but scan date is after and ultimately it’s up to DM. I didn’t realised you had to send it first tracked back then, just used the free post.

My scan date is the 30th so will be around the same time so doing this ti keep an eye

I also have the 'appointed person' letter but no letter about award amount etc.

Chloec211 · 27/09/2023 12:04

@Mumofkidsx3 i rang this morning and found out they made the decision to award yesterday. My scan date was 30th may x

Chloec211 · 27/09/2023 12:03

@Mumofkidsx3 i don’t even know what an appointed person letter is? The only letters I’ve had is when they received the form x

@Mumofkidsx3 thank you for replying about scan dates! I unfortunately didn't ring up for the forms 😬 I printed them out myself at home so now have an even longer wait! I really wish I rang for the forms instead!

Ohh 🥴 hopefully the DMs will start to speed up now they’ve gotten over the summer holidays 😅🤞 good luck

Mumofkidsx3 · 27/09/2023 11:49

Folks who have just recently had a decision, I’ve received the appointed person letter but not the award letter, did you all receive the award letter first?, I’m thinking maybe mines been lost in post 🥴

Good luck everyone and all the kind people kept me going xxxx

I've woken up this morning to a back payment of £639, had no letter, no texts but I think that he now has HRM too which would mean I can get him his wheelchair accessible vehicle! It will make a huge difference to our lives.

Those who are updating UC after having successful claims don’t forget to write in your journal and ask them to back date your child disability element to the date your DLA was backdated to, (the date you phoned up for the DLA forms) not your scan date. I’ve also asked them to consider giving me 4 bedroom rate housing benefit as my children with disabilities can not share a bedroom( I have 3 children, 2 with ASD, ADHD/ Epilepsy).

Same with carers element on UC too guys. You have to request the backpay, they won’t just give it like DLA does

@Loup19863 I updated my Uc straight away because uc and DLA is all part of dwp anyway they will be able to check I imagine 😂 I havnt been asked for proof 🙊

Mumofkidsx3 · 26/09/2023 17:22

@Tmxx you left a question about scan date on thread 13. The date you are awarded from is actually the Original date you phoned up for the form so don’t worry too much about the signing hiccup. But I imagine you will be counting from when they got the signed form as far as wait time goes, good luck

Mumofkidsx3 · 26/09/2023 17:05

I think most people that applied in may got their decision around the 17- 18 week mark, only a couple on here got to 20weeks for new claims. COC is a whole different story

neuromummy · 26/09/2023 16:43

i was just told on the phone that the waiting times have slightly gone down now by about 2weeks... i dont know how true this is tho. so its looking like 18 weeks on average. hope this helps

Loup19863 · 26/09/2023 16:23

@Mumofkidsx3 I just saw you were on this one so I’ll follow this one now 😅 x

Mumofkidsx3 · 26/09/2023 16:10

Guys they actually back date to the day you rang up for the claim form, my scan date was 25/05 and got medium rate care and low rate mobility for both my boys found out on Friday and Monday, they back dated mine to 18/04
@Hmcc123 whoo hoo so happy for you, hope you got what you were expecting 🥳

Mumofkidsx3 · 26/09/2023 16:07

@Loup19863 I’m not really sure this has been here a while but people didn’t move over from part 13 😂

neuromummy · 26/09/2023 15:46

My scan date is also 29th June, ive never called, but i have had the diagnosis through, so im calling to find out what to do next before they make their decision. l
