Bit of a lurker but wondering if anyone can help.

My daughter was awarded MRC and LRM at the beginning of last year.

Her award was due to run out in January.

I received the forms in August and sent them back in September.

This morning I had a random payment of £201.90.

Her next payment isn’t due until next week, any ideas what this one could be?

Mumof8boysand2girls · 30/11/2023 09:57

An hour on hold and disconnected
how annoying but I’ll try again

Mariannec · 30/11/2023 09:54

@Tammie23 yes, but I’m also preparing myself for it to go a little over from reading on here that some 19/7 have taken quite a lot longer than the estimated times. There is about 10 years worth of evidence within the application so I’m expecting it to take a while to go through lol x

Tammie23 · 30/11/2023 09:52

@Mariannec oh thank you lovely so another couple of weeks to go yet then xx

Mumof8boysand2girls · 30/11/2023 09:51

Still on hold 50 mins

Mariannec · 30/11/2023 09:48

@Tammie23 i am the same scan date, I called earlier this week. They said it was still in holding queue and would be with a dm 18 weeks from scan date then an extra 5-9 days for a decision

Anniemumof3 · 30/11/2023 09:44

Hi has anyone had to go to a verification of people who live with you meeting at jobcentre after telling uc that child is now in receipt of dla? Just not sure what to expect I generally don’t go out due to anxiety as well so hoping can do it over the phone

Amy92x · 30/11/2023 09:40

@Vampiredette84 fingers crossed your is seen over the weekend also x

Tammie23 · 30/11/2023 09:35

2/8 my scan date surely I'm close to a decision fingers crossed I'll give them a ring next week if I haven't heard anything or if anyone around my date rings could you please keep me updated xx

Elle1978 · 30/11/2023 08:57

Hi all good luck to all still waiting. And apologies for any declines. Keep fighting for your LO.I had a payment in my bank for 940 . COC scan date 26th June. Not had latter yet for rates but am thinking they have put him upto mrc and lrm. As he was on lower for both.

Cherrycokeandchocolatecake · 30/11/2023 08:53

@CourtneyLxx Congratulations and thank you for the reassurance. The wait is insane and I feel like you never know how it’s going to play out xx
