@Sockbabies they did the verification for my kids too only took 2 hours. Think it's standard practice. They take the mick xx

I've asked again this morning if it's been done as I reported it and they told me about verification on 3rd. Xx

Just had notification that my extra evidence has been signed for, just need to wait for it to be scanned on as already with a CM will chase again tomorrow and update ! Fingers crossed its not a decline x

Regarding uc...... I was awarded mrc on friday but found out yesterday I updated my journal, I done the change of circumstances and put a note to work coach (I don't personally have one) and I put one under payment, my assessment date ends today, I had a message back first thing this morning saying they have added my carers element onto my claim so the money will be on my statement but the disability element needs verifying and they will update my journal as soon as and she also said she has forwarded my request for back pay for both carers and disability element. Hope this helps someone as to maybe do what I did?
Good luck all waiting!

@Sockbabies oh I've not had that message. I'm not sure I've even seen one person on here who has actually received the backpay yet x

I see. I think I'll give it to Friday and chase again. Ridiculous as if I owed them I'm sure they would be quick to chase me xx

MammyAng84 · 14/11/2023 13:52

I’ve tried ringing but it just keeps cutting me off 😭

Helenlogismumma · 14/11/2023 13:48

Any one had any luck with back pay from universal credit? How long did it take to be with a dm?

Pumpkins3 · 14/11/2023 13:47

Just on hold now but it keeps cutting me off 😩

Sockbabies · 14/11/2023 13:43

@Asdmummyhere yea asked for back pay and they said something about verifying children (despite my kids being on claim since I opened it).

Scan date 26/7
Joining this thread. The wait is agonising now 😔

Scan date buddy 😁😁 I'm also 26/7 the wait is getting worse the closer it's getting! Hopefully we will have a decision soon

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 14/11/2023 13:28

@Mummyrach13 I had the strangest thing on my uc journal today
I didn't get a letter type document I just had a message saying "hi we've allowed the backpay date for element to 19th June for start of my assessment period and my case manager will update my award soon to see if any payment is outstanding to pay"

I've had to reply asking why it isn't in a formal letter makes no sense now I don't know whether that means her backpay is accepted etc.

Rebeccanew · 14/11/2023 13:24

It really seems awfully quiet today maybe decisions being made today they don’t have the text facilities xxxxx

Asdmummyhere · 14/11/2023 13:24

@Sockbabies did you put a note on your journal requesting back pay? I did Thursday and only got a message today saying they've sent the request for disability element and carers element to be backdated from 6/8 and to wait for a response. My award date is 12/7 so I've replied back but obviously not heard anything 🙄 x

crazytimes20 · 14/11/2023 13:21

Scan date 25/7. This is awful! The last few weeks are the worst. I've not phoned at all as I can't see it being looked at till the end of the month. Although a few with later dates are being awarded. It's so stressful. Should be an online system you can go on and check.

Sockbabies · 14/11/2023 13:19

Has anyone heard back from uc? I did the change on the 3rd and heard nothing since 🙄. Xx

Asdmummyhere · 14/11/2023 13:16

@Vikz37 congratulation hun.

Goodluck to everyone else waiting x

Mumofasd3 · 14/11/2023 13:10
