I’ve just got through after 1 hour and 15 mins, I have a scan date of 5/7 and last text received 2/10, it is still with a CM but the lady on the phone said it shouldn’t be too long now! I hate all this waiting 😩

Jude82 · 13/11/2023 17:17

@Pandemic1233 thanks so much for updating with that info! That is my scan date and I’ve seen nobody awarded anywhere near that date so far. Good to know. And congratulations! What a relief for you and your family. 👏🏻

@Jaffacakesrlife same scan date amd same message dates hello scan date buddie

Wildboysmum18 · 13/11/2023 16:10

I’ve reported that I’m caring for someone now, it was sent to a decision maker on the 10th November and they said today I will get the disabled child element, just haven’t heard anything about the carers element. X

Mummyrach13 · 13/11/2023 16:06

Ooh that was quick @Wildboysmum18 a few of us have been waiting a few weeks.
did you ask for both parts to be backdated?
I did but apparently they missed one off! Glad you’ve had a reply and your money letter quickly though x

Wildboysmum18 · 13/11/2023 16:01

He was awarded mrc, last Monday. I’ve received a letter in my journal saying I will get the £146 disabled child element but nothing about the carers element yet? Will that be separate? X

Mummymummy22 · 13/11/2023 15:59

@Mumofasd3 how long on hold today plz

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 15:58

Wildboysmum18 · 13/11/2023 15:49

Am I entitled to the carers element part? I’ve updated that on uc already x

The careres element is from mrc or hrc so yes if you have been awarded one of these 😁 xxx

Mummymummy22 · 13/11/2023 15:58

How long did it take to get through today? Plz

StephanieCee · 13/11/2023 15:56

@Wildboysmum18 how long did you wait to get that letter on your journal? There’s a few of us still waiting for UC to get their fingers out x

Wildboysmum18 · 13/11/2023 15:49

Am I entitled to the carers element part? I’ve updated that on uc already x

Jaffacakesrlife · 13/11/2023 15:49

@puzzleme5 Hi, No we're on the wait list for speech and language, occupational therapy. since i sent the forms in we have been seen by both, we're now using PECs for speech and he needs an MRI scan as he has delays with the right side of his body. im hoping their taking so long because they have requested all the information from tgese places. xx

crazytimes20 · 13/11/2023 15:44

@Mumofasd3 thats good. I'm 25/7, last txt 23/10. Would be nice if mine was the same but very doubtful. I'm from Yorkshire and haven't noticed anyone from here with decisions around my date yet. Fingers crossed for you.

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 15:41

@Sskanf i really wish you the best of luck with your claim please keep me posted xxxxx

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 13/11/2023 15:40

@Wildboysmum18 how long did you take for the dm to give you a decision hun on uc? @Mummyrach13 that's ridiculous how they can read a message which clearly states backpay request for both and then they "missed" the dla element! I'd tell them that you want to make a complaint about how your requests have been handled. Xx

Sskanf · 13/11/2023 15:38

@Rebeccanew I may try later ive phoned 5 times and keep getting disconnected.
Your allowed to rant its stressful especially with everything going on at school. Hope things get easier

Mumofasd3 · 13/11/2023 15:37

Just got off the phone with a really lovely man who told me its with DM now and should have an answer by the end of the week!! Fingers crossed!
Scan date 27/7
Last txt 23/10
Newcastle

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 15:36

@Sskanf also I think yours be with decision maker now xxxxxxx

Keddie · 13/11/2023 15:35

@Sskanf 13/7 I sent in extra evidence over the weekend so hopefully that was scanned today?
