Hi everyone, also been watching this thread for the past few weeks.

Had a missed call from a private number and couldn't think who it could be so called them just in case it was them, it wasn't but the lovely man I spoke to said I should hear about 13/12. Seen a lot of late July awards today on Facebook (even some early August!) Starting to get a little nervy!

MrsB97 · 15/11/2023 14:20

Hi all, I've been watching the thread for a while. 15 weeks on Friday, not sure whether to phone or not as some late July dates have been done, but most people are sitting on 18 weeks' waits x

@Lollypops88 send a message under payments and work Coach see if that helps. I updated mine on 31/10 and they said they will send to DM then on Tues this week they said the disabled child element was missed and not Asked for even though I requested both in the same message. So been a couple weeks and feel like I will be waiting a good while still x

congrats @lauren1997 seems UC is like how long is a piece of string. Some are getting replies quite quickly and some a long wait again. Have you updated the changes then Asked for it to be backdated in your journal? X

@StephanieCee I am waiting for a decision maker to look at mine, I think a few have been backdated so far

Mummymummy22 · 15/11/2023 13:49

@ARH36 I've asked for MR this morning...they said 4 weeks....but others have said 11 weeks on letter

So I would like to hear from someone who has asked for MR recently and how long it took? Plz

lauren1997 · 15/11/2023 13:26

Been silently watching and was told on Monday we was with a case manager got a text today to confirm my daughter qualifies for MRC till 2025! Scan date 13/07

I sent barely any evidence, just a confirmation letter for my daughter to join the waiting list for an Autism assessment + Speech and language and also a report of concerns from her nursery.

So happy she’s getting what she deserves 🫶

Does anyone know how long it takes UC to backdate the disabled element after informing them?

Mumma3girls · 15/11/2023 13:23

@Vampiredette84 the man took all my details then just said we have ??thousand claims to process at the moment and to call back after 18weeks. I don’t even think he looked at where my claim was after I gave all the info… felt fobbed off.
told myself I’m going to wait until the end of next week to call now.

ARH36 · 15/11/2023 13:19

Hi everyone! I have just had a letter about an MR. The letter says it can take up to 11 weeks for a decision to be made. Does anyone know how long MRs are actually taking?

Mum2JR · 15/11/2023 13:13

Hi, I have been lurking but have not seen anyone with dates 15/7. I called at week 15 and was told that it would take 18.5 weeks. We are 18 weeks on Friday and planned to call next Friday if we haven't heard but I'm hoping it's sorted by then!

Good luck to everyone else!

@Mumofasd3 congratulations on your award there seems to be a few 27/7 getting awarded this week. I’m beginning to wondering if they’ve forgotten the 17-21 July pile and gone on to the week after?

@Mummyof5kiddos Seems like we've been forgotten doesn't it?

Scan date 4/8
2nd text 31/10
Hi I’m new but been following for the last week.
I just called and got a very rude man, he said they didn’t even look at my claim till the 30/10 and I have to wait till mid January! But when I phoned last week I was told it was scanned on the 4/8. I don’t know what to think now. 😫
Is there anyone with similar dates to me and been told different?
