@MilaMom im scan date 27/7, and not heard a thing. I work school hours so can’t ring really, tried when I finished work yesterday, I was on hold for 2hrs then got cut off as phone lines closed 🤬

MangoPepsiLover · 02/12/2023 08:00

I can't get UC to even acknowledge my messages/updates.

I rang yesterday and the lady on the phone was like "It'll update when it updates nothing I can do" and hung up.

Ok then, thanks for your help

Lightsoutallout · 02/12/2023 07:57

@MilaMom did you get through yesterday? We are same scan date 26/07 and I've not heard anything either.

I sent additional evidence and they noted on my file that I had so I'm now worried they'll be waiting for the evidence to be scanned etc before making the decision 🤷‍♀️

Mumofepilepsy · 02/12/2023 01:21

@LollyRiv yes I called today said the same thing as last time still with DM nothing on system no notes. Ohh she did say may have complex cases to deal with. I said yes he probably looked and mine and thought ohhhh my !!!! And put it to the back. Am going to try my best to not call it makes u feel sick. All the ladies that had same date as us have been awarded. Now the chat is full of end of July and august. She did say u have all ur evidence etc so that’s made me feel a bit better. Am defo gonna stop now and just wait xxx

Lauren2121 · 01/12/2023 23:10

@Mariannec okay that’ll be great Thankyou, will let you know if I hear anything fingers crossed for you x

LollyRiv · 01/12/2023 22:57

@Mumofepilepsy nope 😕, no news today. I didn't get chance to call today but was hoping to hear something. I feel like it's a decline as I've not had any news but trying to stay positive. Have you heard anything? Have you tried to call? Hope we hear on Monday xx

Tmxx · 01/12/2023 21:58

Wow @Billie1993 that was super quick I'm impressed that there is someone that works for them that works quick 🤣🤣

I updated circumstances 13th November, went to a 15th had the special circumstances apple letter yesterday (30th) so fingers crossed soon!

How does the backpay work!? Like for example my backdate from dla was to June 23rd, does that month count or will it be starting from July for the elements on uc xxx

Looloo12332 · 01/12/2023 20:58

Emsale83 · 01/12/2023 20:55

@Looloo12332 Hi, it depends on who you bank with. Some banks show pending payments coming in to your bank account.

Emsale83 · 01/12/2023 20:53

@Krys83 That's fantastic news, congratulations! I have no pending payment yet, I'll give them a bell on Monday if I don't hear anything.

I got a text to say my child qualifies. My other child's application was a bit quicker, so I was sure this one was a decline. 18 weeks 1 day, Scan date 25/07 and last text 16/10. No idea on rates as was too late to call, will see if I can work it out from back pay, when it arrives. Having these threads each day has been a huge help keeping me sane, thank you. Hoping everyone else gets good news soon.

Mumofepilepsy · 01/12/2023 17:59
