@Sockbabies @Mummyrach13 I've had nothing to do with verifying my children or anything. I was supposed to have an appointment this Tuesday but it was cancelled about half an hour after changing my circumstances. Do you think that means it's already been verified? xx

@Sockbabies hopefully you will get the elements on your statement I should imagine you will as it doesn’t take long to verify. Both my elements were were verified within 2 days it’s just the backdating that’s a wait x

They haven't replied about weather it's been verified yet. Said they needed to verify children and then that's it since 😫. Xx

@Tmxx wow that's a massive difference! I really hope they get it sorted asap for you.

The long wait for dla and then the backpay from uc is a never ending cycle. Hopefully everyone hears soon xx

@Mummyrach13 I had a message saying he had requested for disability and carers element to be backdated to the date my son was awarded dla. No mention of dm but assuming that's what he meant xx

We’ve had that before @Tmxx very frustrating! Always the other way though when taking back. Hopefully it will be a quick process for you x

@Asdmummyhere have they replied saying they will send to a Dm? That’s usually the first thing then the wait begins again. X

@Sockbabies how long have you been waiting again? X

@Mummyrach13 I'm not holding out much hope! I reported my earnings were reported wrong by my employer on the 10th and I'm due my uc tomorrow, wasn't a little mess up! I got paid £422 and they have down £1028 so I am getting hundreds less on my statement and they haven't sorted that out yet! I will keep you updated xxx

Asdmummyhere · 15/11/2023 18:09

@Mummyrach13 I am tempted to put another message on tomorrow as that will be a week since first message. Hope you hear something soon xx

Tammie23 · 15/11/2023 18:06
