I'm currently on hold waiting to get through to get an update. Last text received 22/01. Fingers crossed I don't get told off haha!

I’m on hold to asking for an update ! Fingers crossed for you

Claudb98 · 05/02/2024 13:37

just Got through after waiting on hold for 55min.
lovely lady answered the phone, changed my bank details for me.
I asked her for an update on my application for COC scan date 18/10 and she told me it was in a ‘holding cue’ waiting to go to a case manager

she also confirmed they received evidence I sent off last week

not going to call now until end of feb if I haven’t heard before, good luck all x

KateLouise123 · 05/02/2024 13:36

Called just, mines still waiting to be looked at apparently. End of Feb, March for a decision.

Scan date 17th October

SarahJL12 · 05/02/2024 13:33

@Hayz0711 Hopefully we both get a decision soon. I think I will call on Thursday to confirm they have received the extra evidence, with a bit of luck they might have an update. It will be my first time calling

Hayz0711 · 05/02/2024 13:31

@SarahJL12 same scan date. 2 letters, no texts x

SarahJL12 · 05/02/2024 13:28

Long time lurker here!
Scan date 19/10
Received 2 letters and 1 txt on 29/01
Ive just sent off some additional evidence by special delivery. Hoping it reaches them and is scanned on time 🤞
Good luck to everyone waiting. Anxiety is really kicking in now

Sarahdestiny · 05/02/2024 13:27

@ItsRalf glad you got your decision and I have they just keep saying decision not made as of yet hopefully I hear by Friday and thank you x

4/10 still no decision feeling deflated alot of Dates weeks after me already been awarded guessing I'm in the slow dms pile hoping not to long still don't understand how some September dates are still waiting and beginning of October but dates at the end of October already have awards it's baffling God knows how they work there systems

We got awarded on Friday. Even though I rang on Friday and they said it's not been looked at!! I'm 5/10. Give them a ring! I hope you get awarded soon!

Livd99 · 05/02/2024 13:22

@Amycroft i reported it Friday so hopefully this week it’s done

fluffy2234 · 05/02/2024 13:21

Hi do they send decline text messages does anyone know?

Amycroft · 05/02/2024 13:13

I'm wondering if the carers and dla element will go into our payment that's due so my uc payment date is 17th will it get added onto that this month then be told about backdated pay

NJB93 · 05/02/2024 13:08

Rubys111 · 05/02/2024 13:07

@Sarahdestiny hopefully we hear something this week than, I'll let you know if I hear anything else

MamaG2817 · 05/02/2024 13:06

Scan date 25/10
Received my first text today

Had 2 previous letters November & December.
Seen a few awarded around the same date I’m in 2 minds to ring them or not 🤷🏼‍♀️

Amycroft · 05/02/2024 13:04

@Livd99 when did you add it to your uc account cause I've been waiting 5 days now and nothing they won't answer me on my journal and I rang and she said you have to just wait but other people seem to be getting told within 1 or 2 days

Sarahdestiny · 05/02/2024 12:59

@Rubys111 they have said the same to me on Friday said with decision maker but today said case manager no decision as of yet so God knows all is confusing to me hopefully we have our decisions soon x

Livd99 · 05/02/2024 12:58

Have just rang uc my child’s disability element has been approved after 1 day just waiting for carers to be verified but I’m due to be paid 12th and they advised me my payment will show then which is really quick. In terms of backpay this gets sent to a case worker within 24 hours of adding to journal so we shouldn’t be waiting long at all hope this helps

Rubys111 · 05/02/2024 12:54

Mine is the 6th and still nothing, apparently its with a case manager. I feel exactly the same as you.

Siobhangrace · 05/02/2024 12:53

@Amycroft i only put in for it Friday I’m going give it till Thursday maybe Friday and see what’s going on, it’s like waiting for DLA claim all over again fml🤦🏻‍♀️

Claudb98 · 05/02/2024 12:52

ringing up today for an update on my change of circumstances claim. Haven’t called before
