@RainbowZebraWarrior What happens if you didn't ring for the forms?? I'm sure I just printed mine out online?x

Yes, backdated to the scan date. It's basically classed as the start of the claim if you rang for forms.

I'm on hold now. First time I've ever rang. I originally called for the forms in July. I never received them so rang again a month later. I was told then that it would be backdated to the original July date and it hasn't been. I wasn't going to bother, however, it's an extra £400 and that would pay for the specialist mattress my DD needs and they did promise me.

I'm 5/10 and just rang to update new medication. It's not even been looked at yet. Just frustrating.

@FlutterByASD fingers crossed for you, hopefully mine is too! When it takes so long you can’t help but think the worse, especially when middle of October are getting awarded.

Fingers crossed we get some news soon. I rang yesterday to ask whether it was worth me sending extra evidence and the lady I spoke to said that a decision would likely be made before it arrived which gives me some hope.

@RainbowZebraWarrior what do you mean by x23 weeks?x

I worked out that the backpayment was the equivalent of MRC / LRM x 23 weeks which would take it to the day I rang for the forms. So my scan date was 29/9, but I rang for the forms on 23/8. It's always backdated to the day you rang (assuming the form was back on time)

Hope that makes sense.

Congratulations on everyone’s awards! 26/09 and still waiting nervously! Anyone else still from September waiting? I rang on Monday to be told waiting in the holding line for DM. The wait is making me not be able to function! Praying after fighting for nearly 10 years my boy gets what he deserves!

I'm 28/9 and was told yesterday it was with a DM and I would have a decision in the next couple of days.

Been watching this thread for months! I sent off 2 claims - both scanned 28th Sep. I called on Monday to be told my daughter has been awarded HRC LRM, I nearly hit the floor! Payment had been released on Monday, can anyone advise roughly how long it took to go in the bank please? I see people saying they can see pending payments - have no idea how to look for this! Now just to wait for my son, which they said will be another 4 weeks which makes no sense given they both had the same scan date!

Congratulations hun. So pleased for you all.

mez2004 · 31/01/2024 09:12

Ah you too lovely, I’m on hold to them again this anxiety is crippling me I need to know.

Siobhangrace · 31/01/2024 09:10

@mez2004 im the 27th rang yesterday and got told the same thing good luck! 🙏🏽

Mariehanna · 31/01/2024 09:07

@RainbowZebraWarrior I rang yday and was told my daughters been awarded mrc/lrm no money in bank as of yet but need to work out what it would be my scan date is one day before yours

good luck to everyone end of September lady I spoke to yday said there getting through end of September this week work a call I didn’t expect nothing as I had no text and did request one xxx

Naylor19 · 31/01/2024 09:07

@oscarsmommy if you get UC they did 3 cost of living payments extra to help those on low income. So you get a text with the date on the next payment this is the final one. ☺️

@Amycroft ah a couple weeks before mine so hopefully not long for me now, bet it’s such a relief getting that text!

Hayz0711 · 31/01/2024 08:10

Scan date 19/10 for COC.
I have more evidence to send in, seems I’m still a way off, so shall I send evidence registered post or just send it to the free post address? Thanks x

Always send registered post signed for for piece of mind if you take the envelope dla provide they knock it off the cost of delivery my post office does that anyway

Amycroft · 31/01/2024 09:06

Amytate · 31/01/2024 09:00

Mummybabies2 · 31/01/2024 08:52

@ineedteanownotlater you should be looking towards may/June for a decision x

Thank you. Anxiously a/w payment as i haven't been able to replace furniture in her room as it just gets destroyed, but her dla will help with this. She's excited to get her new bedroom 🩷

oscarsmommy · 31/01/2024 08:37

What are these cost of living payment texts? I haven't had one but we only get child benefit so maybe that's why?
