Ah so you got a text 10 weeks in and 15 weeks in I only got the 15 weeks In one

K459 · 31/01/2024 17:36

My husband received that text this afternoon too so it might not be the wrong text sent as the dla claim is attached to my number

Jumping85 · 31/01/2024 17:31

@Siobhangrace I’m probably reading far too much into it, this wait is driving me crazy! Fingers crossed for you x

Siobhangrace · 31/01/2024 17:28

@Jumping85 Yes I do but never had a text before

Did you qualify for COL payments before this claim? I wonder if an award has triggered the message x

Mine is the 06/10 and I spoke to someone that wasn't great on the phone she was pretty rude actually was only trying to find out whether they've received my extra evidence, but she did say it could take up to the end of February to find out whether my child is being awarded or not.

Honestly some of them sound so rude! I think I’ll ring early next week x

EEFO1234 · 31/01/2024 16:29

@FlutterByASD me too, I'll update you tomorrow after I've rang

FlutterByASD · 31/01/2024 16:27

EEFO1234 · 31/01/2024 16:04

Was trying my hardest to hold off but the amount of people who haven't been told they have been awarded until they have phoned, going to ring tomorrow, thanks fingers crossed for you too

I wasn't going to ring again until Friday but I'm deffo ringing them tomorrow now after seeing so many people with scan dates the same as ours get their awards. I'll keep you updated tomorrow.

Scan date - 28/09
award date - 29/01

I called in today, no text messages received for weeks; just spent an hour and 20 on hold found out she was awarded HRM, MRC. Apparently a letter has been dispatched. Keep going ladies. Our little darlings deserve it! My advice is call if you have later dates in September. Wishing you all the best! This thread has been amazing for updates.

Are there different centres at this address? I called yesterday for the address and they gave me this but I had to add “disability centre 4” into it to send extra evidence
