Thanks, no text message, I rang up to check they received my extra evidence and she said yes and a decision had been made this morning. Good luck x

@Jesslou37 this is what annoys me some people's get dome within 1 day and backoay in few days later then others don't heat notging surely we should all get it as we qualify for dla no??

18 weeks tomorrow! Scan date 3/10. Called today, took 48 mins to answer and the lady was lovely. I was updating a change to medication and a confirmation of diagnosis. She told me a decision had been made on 2/2/24. I’ve been awarded HRC & LRM, she confirmed how much I’d receive in back pay and that it should go into my account tomorrow.

do I need to wait for a letter before updating UC? Xx

Edited

My sons was awarded today, Ive already been onto my uc journal to update everything and put my carers allowance claim in too, if the wait is anything like dla then it's better sooner rather than later isn't it x

@Kkh1 thanks for the update. It's good to know this should all be over in the next few weeks lol. We've just gotta hold in there a little bit longer xx

Yes that’s right ! Stressful few weeks but hang in there an we all have each other ! Xx

@Amycroft @Livd99 I've been waiting 17days for a decision. Went to one the day I informed uc of changes, asked on Friday and there's no timescale to the process 🙄was told to just keep an eye on my journal for a dm update. The carers element has been added on so that's a relief for next payment x

@Mrssnee16 problem is you can't drink at work 🤣 x

Very true but you can dream about home time and relax with a glass or few 🤣 x

@Kkh1 well after an hour wait, apparently mine isn't even being looked at! I told him others are being awarded with scan dates after mine. He said he couldn't give an answer why as it shouldn't be processed like that and done in scan date order. He did say the wait is looking to be 17-20 weeks so I need to wait a few more weeks. Bit disheartening but trying to remain positive xx

I just got through dead on an hour, she said it will be looked at most probably on the 18 week mark (which will be next week ) and could take an additional couple of weeks from that , as every few weeks they are updated with a deadline they need to meet ?? Lady was lovely an very helpful
hope this helps anyone

Decision should be made in March apparently. This wait is anxiety inducing x

K459 · 05/02/2024 14:09

@Amycroft If they have updated your claim they can pay the money that is owed before your usual payment date

On hold, had a diagnosis today, want to update info. Scan date 3/10

NJB93 · 05/02/2024 13:57

@Kkh1 The wait times on the phone plus the amount of weeks we wait is really frustrating isn't it! I wouldn't have called today but seeing later dates prompted me to as I thought it might have been good news. I'm 16/10 so only a few days apart from you, so will good to know what they say thank you xx

It is very frustrating! I’m currently in 32 mins on hold - rung just before this call but was cut off at 40mins . I received a text the same day as you, my scan date is between 10/10 -13/10 not sure which one so will let you know what they say to me x

Lindsey89 · 05/02/2024 13:48

Apparently a decline text is we have made a decision about your claim from what I've read on here

Lindsey89 · 05/02/2024 13:47

We are 17 weeks friday just hope it's not much longer 😢

fluffy2234 · 05/02/2024 13:21

Hi do they send decline text messages does anyone know?

If IT's declined it's worded differently I think.
If awarded it usually says awarded but not everyone gets texts some just received letters
