Hi when updating universal do I need to no what date they started the award from? I requested forms Oct 5th, scanned 25th Oct, not sure when they are back dating to. But can I only update universal once I no the exact date or do they not ask? X

I've just phoned for an update, 3 hangups then a 48 min wait. Lovely man on the phone, I had mentioned our financial hardship so he put a note on my account for priority, he said I should have a decision in about 2 weeks. Scan date 25.10

I'm more than happy with the award and I have no intention of disputing it. I thought they may not have awarded mobility as my daughter isn't physically incapable of walking, but she does have some quite severe sensory issues that can cause her to be unpredictable whilst out and about and she does need constant supervision, so I'm happy they have given her LRM.

I found this click on it it’s a comprehensive guide into helping people with their claims our daughter has similar issues to yours 16 weeks in for us today

I have just rang to put note on the system that my daughter had been giving a place in special needs school. I asked for a update on phone she said it’s in the second holding que. Haven’t got a clue what that means.

Just wanted to add my dates for anyone still waiting.
Forms ordered - 16/08
Forms sent - 15/09
Forms scanned - 28/09
First letter - 03/10
Second letter - 15/11
First text - 05/12
Second text - 08/01

Money in the bank at exactly 18 weeks from scan date and they backdated to the date I ordered the forms even though they were one day late being scanned. They didn't contact anyone I had put on the forms and they didn't ring me. I sent ASD diagnosis letter, SALT report and SOGS assessment.

Edited
