@Gracie1909 Be pushy with them and ask to speak to someone senior as they are all thick from what I can remember.
i dealt with them about 6 years ago… returned to work as a single mum and tried to get childcare etc. they messed up my part income benefits every month. As I was a revenues officer, I had to break it down to them bit by bit. I feel like the training they get is pretty poor…
explain in basic language what u need them to get done lol. And keep us updated!

@shaf thankyou I am going to call again today, I wouldn't mind if the elements was right atleast and then was only waiting on backpay, but now I feel I'm up in the air waiting on different things etc and it's horrible isn't it. Gives me anxiety x

So today I got my UC statement, the disabled child element is ok, but no carer element. Is this right? I did both in my changes. And also no backdate and still no reply in my journal. X

The element should still be added regardless of if your both earning or not… as the earnings are taken off via the deductions.
all the elements are first calculated to give you a full picture of what you could be entitled to without any other deductible income.

i haven’t been awarded yet but I have dealt with issues with UC in the past. Not sure how much this differs now but it was always easier to get them moving on the phone so maybe try calling and demand that it’s all fixed before your payment comes next week.

Anyone else getting more and more paranoid of a decline the closer it comes to your scan date 🤣🤣 mines 10th Oct and I feel like climbing the walls haha! I've seen people with dates after me get awarded and people from September still waiting so I know it makes no difference... Just doesn't help knowing that though haha!

100% freaking out about getting declined, seeing other people with my date and later getting awarded.

Scan date 02/10

Do you think I should go for mr ? As it’s only a year, have you been re awarded yet? It’s so stressful☹️

Gracie1909 · 06/02/2024 06:48

Is there a limit to what you can get if both working? Could that be why I havnt got the carer element x

Gracie1909 · 05/02/2024 22:04

@Thenoseymother did they add a note to your journal today? Was it between 8-6? As I was wondering if mine could update anytime or is it only working hours x

Thenoseymother · 05/02/2024 21:58

Jesslou37 · 05/02/2024 21:51

@Thenoseymother I've only just had my decision put on my journal so hoping it's not much longer. I seen someone say on a different thread that once that decision was made the previous payment section all changed. Mine still showing as the same payments x

Yes mine are all showing as the same too! Glad it’s not just me lol x

Sallyt7110 · 05/02/2024 21:40

@Bearintheredhat if you get paid weekly they will pay you carers for each week you earn less than £136. So the weeks you do two days you will get zero carers.
if you get paid monthly then you need to earn less than £136x4 and if you are even a penny over then you’ll get none for the month.

I hear you loud and clear and sitting in the same boat as you 😂

Thenoseymother · 05/02/2024 21:35

Does anyone know once you get the letter on UC journal from DM to say they’ve accepted your reasons for informing them of a change that they then sort the back pay? I’ve heard nothing since. Thanks!

Nataliepb90 · 05/02/2024 21:23

It really does drive you up the wall! Sitting here wondering what evidence I can get in support of an MR already and I've not even had a decision 🤣🤣 they sure know what they're doing to up the stress levels!
