@Siobhangrace still nothing on my journal I rang this morning she said it goes to a DM and thay decide whether you get backdated but you only did it on the 31 Jan so give it a few more days but then she said wait for a letter from the DM it's so confusing tbh

eatdrinkandbemerry · 05/02/2024 12:48

Scan date 4/11 just received my first text to say they are still looking at it 😩
Didn't want to read it incase it was a declined.

Siobhangrace · 05/02/2024 12:47

@Amycroft have you heard anything the UC today?

TheClassicCollection · 05/02/2024 12:45

14 weeks today - scan date of 30/10.

Had to wait 17.5 weeks for my youngest child's claim. The waiting is just horrendous when you get to the last 4 weeks

Yeah she said he was awarded today, told me the rates and how much will be going in my bank each month and how much my backdated money was

Ok thanks how old is your child and what his conditions are to get the award he got x

Tiredmummy1235 · 05/02/2024 12:40

Congratulations gives me hope the long wait coming to a end scan date 9/11.

I don’t understand why they don’t have a portal like Universal Credit. It would make everyone’s lives easier if we could fill in the forms online and upload them, upload all the evidence etc. We would know the forms had been received and would be able to easily add more information or check on progress.

@Jonesy0102 im wigan northwest and ive sent a copy of the report last week after the call ive not rang to if received can never get through in time b4 i need leave for work or school etc so ive given up ringing for now just waiting it out.. Anxiety is on another level though and I have to go through it all again now for me son not even at the end of one claim need start another so I guess I'll be on these threads for some time yet. X

Tan5511 · 05/02/2024 12:07

I’m in Kent , so south east how about you ? Yes I think it’s just a matter of what gets seen next but I have only received the one text and seen that normally you receive two texts first x

North west we are. all people get different text/ letter combinations I’ve seen people get the first text at ten weeks then 15 where as we got first at 15 some people get text to notify of award some don’t x

Kkh1 · 05/02/2024 11:34

Jonesy0102 · 05/02/2024 10:47

This puzzled me but I discovered some people got the first text 10 weeks in not 15 like us people also asking what area do you live in when all Mail goes to Wolverhampton I don’t understand why where you live matters it sure does I’ve seen a few Oct dates been awarded on here some early dates and one the latter x

Thanks all! I worked it out as HRC and LRM.

To add for anyone waiting, I rang Friday and they told me they hadn't even looked at it yet. I saw this pending payment this morning. So don't worry if they the same to you. Good luck everyone ❤️

Fabulous congrats lovely

I'm still waiting apparently mine Is with a case manager and hopefully I'll hear something this week, the women I spoke to was very helpful. Has anyone contacted family fund before a decision has been made?
