Has anyone getting their backdate from UC yet? I got my letter the 3rd November stating I qualify from the decision makers but still no letter to say how much and when it will be going in the bank?

I've just updated my journal and put a note onto payments. Hope I've done everything correct, hope u hear soon xx

Asdmummyhere · 09/11/2023 12:02

@Billie1993 yes my last text was also 2/10. 18 weeks exactly today. The only thing that's baffled me is he's awarded from 12th July although scan date is 6th. Not going to argue about a week though xx

househead13 · 09/11/2023 12:01

I’m scan date 7/7 and last text 2/10 ❤️

@Mommaof2babas hopefully we hear soon 🤞🏻it’s making me more and more nervous thinking did I send enough 🫣

@Kaymumof4 this gives me hope in soon finding out.

anyone with the last text date of 9/10 there does seem to be some what of a pattern it gives me hope for us to find out either over the weekend or early next week.

also another question for you lovely laddies around the same scan date I called on the 9th June for the forms but they stamped it on the 10th June which is a Saturday so I am curious what was the beginning dates for you like the dates you called and what it says on the stamped form (the start of the 6 week time scale it needed to be in by)

sorry if this doesn’t make any sense x

@Asdmummyhere sorry to ask, did your text say your child qualifies or that a decision had been made? I've seen a few people get different text but wernt sure if the second one was a definite decline or still qualifies?

Asdmummyhere · 09/11/2023 11:44

Thanks a few more weeks to go yet

Louisamae · 09/11/2023 11:40

I’ve just received a call from the dm. She wanted to ask some questions about night time needs and school. Her words were. It’s a favourable award and keep and eye on my bank in the next 3-5 days for a payment. I should get a text to confirm later today. I’m so relieved yet so nervous as she didn’t indicate what the award may be! Ah it’s like torture but I’m so happy, I can get my son all the aids he needs to live a more comfortable life! Don’t give up hope ladies!

househead13 · 09/11/2023 11:34

Thank you lovelies, will keep trying xx

Mommaof2babas · 09/11/2023 11:34

I've seen that there is 2 types of texts when a decision has been made one that says "your child qualifies" and one saying "a decision has been made" is the 2nd one always a decline or has people got that text and still qualified?

Asdmummyhere · 09/11/2023 11:32

@Cheesywiggles are you still on hold? I'm on 1hr 15 minutes now hoping it won't cut off xx

Jude82 · 09/11/2023 11:32

@househead13 I kept getting cut off every time I selected option 3 on the last option so I selected option 2, a change in care needs or bank details or something it said and I got through. Could have been coincidence but worth a try as may be a different skill set line 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jneill2021 · 09/11/2023 11:29

@Anonymousks1984 between 24-26 roughly I'm on week 25 and with a dm now xx

Cheesywiggles · 09/11/2023 11:28

househead13 · 09/11/2023 11:26

Is anyone else being repeatedly cut off? I must of tried 10 times over the last 2 days and can’t get in the holding queue? Xx

@househead13 that kept happening to me a few days ago. In the end I got into the que but I lost count of how many times I tried before that happened. It cuts you off when their call que is at capacity so it's just a case of keeping going. It's really annoying , especially when your short of time! X
