Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ah brilliant @StephanieCee how long did you wait for the DM to agree? Mines been 2 weeks but will hold out a couple more weeks before contacting them.
Glad there getting it sorted for you now, good job you called x

Mumofasd3 · 13/11/2023 11:51

I called friday and was told it was with a CM but she said it would take a few more weeks with them. The anxiety of waiting is horrendous!! And now I'm worrying that i might have to ask for MR! This system is so stressful!
Scan date 27/7
Last txt 23/10

Congratulations to all those awarded today ❤️

I've just tried phoning twice and once I get through the options it says they're busy and the phone hangs up, anyone else had this?

@Mommaof2babas /@Pumpkins3 /@Tmxx

was on hold for 1 hour and a lovely lady picked up and said that we’re finally with a DM (she didn’t tell me from when?) she said she can see it hasn’t been completed as of yet but it’s in her pile. And that I should hopefully receive a text message once completed and to call back for rates after the text message.

hopefully by the end of today or soon 🤞🏻

That’s a step in the right direction 😁 Keeping everything crossed that it’s done today for you. I’ll give them a ring in the morning and hopefully mine will be with a DM too or all done! 🤞🏻

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 11:08

@Billie1993 amazing have everything crossed for you that you are at the top of her pile and will be today 🤗 xxx

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 11:00

Does anyone have the info on how to update uc!? Thank you xxx

StephanieCee · 13/11/2023 10:58

I’ll give them a ring now as it’s been 10 days since they approved it, I’ll let you know x @Mummyrach13

Mummyrach13 · 13/11/2023 10:56

Apparently I seen on someone else journal that a member of staff wrote if you haven’t heard or letter with amount within 10 days of the DM approving it then chase it up @StephanieCee x

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 10:48

Pumpkins3 · 13/11/2023 10:39

Congratulations on your awards 🥰

Scan date 12/07 - I rang on Friday and it wasn’t with anyone yet. Tempted to ring but it’s so disappointing when they say nothing has happened. @Billie1993 Good luck! Let me know how you get on 🤞🏻

I rang Thursday and wasn't with a dm, rang today and was awarded Friday so always worth a try xxx

Kelz23 · 13/11/2023 10:45

Last Tuesday I put note on saying child had been awarded from 5/7 can this go to decision maker to backdate but no one will respond to me at all

Asdmummyhere · 13/11/2023 10:43

@Kelz23 when reporting a change do uc have to approve it? Added ds dla on journal and added I was now caring for him. My work search appointment was then cancelled but no idea if the changes have been accepted. Added a note to my journal about back pay but not heard anything but it's not been a week yet x
