@RainbowZebraWarrior thanks so much for all the help in Ur reply. I was only awarded yesterday so not had any payments yet to go off so was a little confused. Can I ask what day you actually got awarded if possible please xx

I only knew as backpay went in yesterday, so I'm guessing I was awarded Friday 26th.

Rang yesterday to confirm rates. Never thought to check date awarded or next payment date. Guessing next payment will be either Weds 21 or 28 Feb. Hopefully the letter might come today.

@27Rosie16 yes I rang yesterday and basically telling me still taking up to 20 weeks and still not with a dm but if end of September dates are being done this week surly we should be done next week but then again I've seen people after us been awarded so God knows what's going on we must be put in the slow pile lol where you from im from derby east Midlands x

Jumping85 · 01/02/2024 09:41

Congrats on all the awards for your little ones today! x

Jumping85 · 01/02/2024 09:40

@Sarahdestiny have you called for an update? X

Sarahdestiny · 01/02/2024 09:38

@27Rosie16 I'm 4/10 and was 17 weeks yesterday so you should be today confused why they said that hopefully we hear by week 18 x

27Rosie16 · 01/02/2024 09:35

I've just got through and was told its not with a decision maker yet but he said I was on 16 weeks (I thought 17 5/10) and that I should have another week or two and takes about 17 weeks altogether.

@FlutterByASD congratulations babe so pleased for u!!!

Gracie1909 · 01/02/2024 09:20

I'm on hold, rang as 9am but ended up being through to pip not child DLA. So had to call back, I'm 15 mins in at the moment, ringing for rates. I just hope my daughter has got MRC atleast as I feel that suits her needs. The wait is nerve wracking on the phone! I thought if we got the award I'd stop stressing but it continues.... Good luck to anyone else calling today xx

NikkiJD · 01/02/2024 09:20

scan date 26/09
no text to confirm but woke up with backpay. Can’t believe it. Need to call to confirm rates. Good luck everyone!!

I phoned on Monday and was told there would be a likely award (that note was added on 17/01) I think the thing that’s holding things up is that my child doesn’t have a national insurance number and they have to apply for one. Not that they’ve told me that - a helpful PP explained that’s the coding I have. I’ll give it another 2 weeks (then it would have been with DM for 4 weeks) before I try again. That will take me to the 20 week mark. Congrats on your award !

Yes I believe if your reference number begins with CL it's a clerical application and they have to apply for a NI number which can take quite a while. Fingers crossed you get some answers, I know the wait can be awful and I hope it's sorted for you soon.

FlutterByASD · 01/02/2024 08:18

I'd give them a ring at 9am if you can, most of us late September dates have had answers now.

I am 27/09 and yet to find out. The problem is it all depends on how quickly people respond. If they have to do any follow ups, how quickly the DM works etc. some cases will be more straight forward than others, some cases the DM may call in sick for a few days or have annual leave. Please don’t be discouraged
