Just had payment into my bank. Not sure the rates though. Maybe mrc and lrrm.
So they seem to be going faster through June .

No way! That's amazing congrats! This confuses me now on how they work! I thought it was by date but that is well ahead of others! So happy your waiting is done 🥳

Sskanf · 18/10/2023 22:10

Congratulations Must be a relief. You received an earlier response than most after 2nd txt
What area are u from perhaps they do go by thar

Shilli84 · 18/10/2023 22:05

My scan date was 25/7.
No letters just 1 text on 2/10.
I can’t stop thinking about it and must check this thread about five times a day 🤦‍♀️😂
Can’t imagine what I will be like when it gets close to when we should hear!

roki · 18/10/2023 22:02

oh let keep updating, so stressfull to spend hours on hold to be told nothing to be honest, i just rather wait like u said until december.

roki · 18/10/2023 21:59

hi my scan date is 25/7 one letter and 0ne text, am not planning on calling, i will just wait for the outcome, do not want to stress myself even more by calling them😀

crazytimes20 · 18/10/2023 21:50

@roki you are the same scan date as me!! I also don't plan on ringing. I'm just going to wait it out. Unless it goes right into December then I might call.

roki · 18/10/2023 21:39

hi all my scan date is 25/7, am not planning to ever call, because is very stressfull, i rather just wait.

Mummyrach13 · 18/10/2023 21:37

Back payment is 3-5 days.

im not 100% but think they say 3 weeks for MR decision but someone else might know for sure.

I have seen 2 people with 27/6 awarded today with back pay. X

Mummyrach13 · 18/10/2023 21:34

Oh @Mammashaz congrats!

same dates of texts as me. Scan date 26/6. Did the money go in this morning? I have awful feeling we will need to do a MR x

Rosey1992 · 18/10/2023 21:22

Does anyone know once you have been awarded how long back date payment takes. Also does anyone know how long it take for a MR descion. My scan date was 3rd or 4th July! So beggining of November is when I'm hoping to hear but just trying to think and prep ahead 😊 x

PinkMoscatoLover · 18/10/2023 20:16

My letter took around 6 weeks to arrive when DS was awarded earlier this year. Most people receive payment before the letter!

Oh my gosh, really? I’m just worried about the timeframe for MR should we have been declined so maybe I need to call next week.

Thank you

I'm the 27/7 such a long wait just wish the process was much quicker.

Oh god I'm 26/06! So could be any day then 🙏🏼

Mammashaz · 18/10/2023 21:04

@RMNofTikTok hope you'll get your answer soon 😁 Don't know whether they assess them by area at all. It's odd that some haven't heard from May/June, whilst I saw someone in July get approved.

Call later, my scan date is 28/06 and I've been told to call back 9/11

Think they are telling people a bit longer to avoid people calling before they make the decision, some tell people not to call for ages then get awarded around the 17-18 week mark still xx

snowy922 · 18/10/2023 15:24

Those who have called to find out, can you keep us updated on how long it takes to receive the letter with your award details please? I’m not going to get chance to call this week now and getting quite anxious.

Scan date 16/6

My letter took around 6 weeks to arrive when DS was awarded earlier this year. Most people receive payment before the letter!

PinkMoscatoLover · 18/10/2023 20:11

How is the thread already on page 7 and it hasn’t even been here for 12 hours😂😅

You lot have been my saviour.
