@Kaymumof4 that's really good to hear as that's 2 who have been told the same, hopefully mine will be next week, good luck with your claim xx

Kaymumof4 · 08/11/2023 12:01

I'm also 10/7 and was told end of this week and should hear next week

Rosegoldsunshine88 · 08/11/2023 12:00

@Rebeccanew oh that's really good your a few days before me, so hopefully yours is with dm any day now, then hopefully mine might go next week, fingers crossed 🤞 hopefully it's not too long for us, good luck with your claim xx

Rebeccanew · 08/11/2023 11:54

@Rosegoldsunshine88 im the 10/7 hun and iv been told 2 times now it’s so close to decision maker end this week should hear by next week hun! I think we will know next week xxxxxxx

Rosegoldsunshine88 · 08/11/2023 11:48

@Rebeccanew yeah I thought the same, it's so unfair to leave us all like this, I'm feeling peeved today, I rang up n was told my claim won't even be looked at until the end of this month, my scan is 13/7 my last txt was 9/10 which is 5 week this Monday, I'm unsure in what to believe anymore, I see many do get told it will go to a dm within so long or that they should have a decision by a certain date, but each time I have phoned, I'm not given any info and seems they don't know too much themselves as I can hear them calculating how many weeks for scan date, is your scan date early July xx

roki · 08/11/2023 11:45

Sammy8919 · 08/11/2023 11:14

I have added dla on to my uc claim yesterday. Statement was due today anyway which is showing now that it been added. What do I do about back pay. How do I ask about it

Doymum · 08/11/2023 11:09

I’m holding out till Friday, when I start to see 7/7 awarded we should be next

StephanieCee · 08/11/2023 11:09

Hi, I did my change of circumstances on the 22nd October, got a letter to say it’s been accepted on the 3rd November but haven’t heard nothing since. Tried to ring UC and they can’t tell me anything, how long does it take after been accepted x

Kelz23 · 08/11/2023 11:06

@BoyMumGirlMum2022 no I only updated yesterday but I don’t have work coach either. So I don’t know if they get notified when I update my claim. Last time with my youngest I had to make official complaint as no one responded.

Rebeccanew · 08/11/2023 11:04

@AnneD96 i would say end November/December for decision as they are at wound 18 weeks to go to decision maker hun! I know it doesn’t make sense some isn’t waiting as long as others it’s confusing! I wish we would al hear soon! Xxxxx

roki · 08/11/2023 11:01

mine 25th july, dont think we will hear anything before the end of november beginning of december, just try not to focus on it , i know is not easy, i only called them today for the first time to check if they have received my exta info, even that is another nightmare.good luck to all of us. this group is fantastic .

AnneD96 · 08/11/2023 10:58

Thank you! She was only awarded hers 2 weeks ago so seems to be different for different people. I’m going to call them next week if nothing as letter says 15 weeks xx

roki · 08/11/2023 10:57

mine was also tracked sent it on the 4th ot october when i tracke it it was sign on the 10th of october, probaly as you said yours was reaching near time for décision, as my scan date is 25th july, so had more time . also when i spoke to him i ask if i have enough time to sen my son EHCP report, as i have it now, he told me no need to keep for now just in case i have to renew my claim then i can send it, it gave me glimpse of hope that they might awand me? who know , anyway i will keep it for now , i wont be calling them again until after i reach 19 weeks. am in 15 weeks now. cant deal with the stress i rather speand my day reading here 😂.

Rebeccanew · 08/11/2023 10:57

BoyMumGirlMum2022 · 08/11/2023 10:57

@Kelz23 I updated my UC circumstances beginning of October, took 3 weeks for someone to reply to my message saying it was with a DM. Got the letter to say back pay had been approved Monday, then got the letter of what was was owed yesterday and payment is incoming to my bank for tomorrow. Have you had any correspondence from UC at all?

AnneD96 · 08/11/2023 10:55

Hi I sent my forms back 28/7 received a letter to say they had received 1/8. Be 15 weeks Friday since sending them back. Had 2 letters and 2 texts. One text 9/10 and one 31/10. Really worried about it as my friends only took 16 weeks 2 days from sending her forms back💖
