my sons form was scanned 13-11 so think 12 weeks yesterday, well a dm has just rung to ask a few questions and told me a decision is being made today. Completely shocked as my other son’s recently took 19weeks 3days so they do seem to be getting a little faster either that or completely pot luck. Good luck to everyone still waiting hope you all get decisions very soon

Did u ring up for forms? I sent two off and both received on 22/11 but one scan date has been put for the date I called and the other for the date received… so maybe they have made your 13/11 for the date you called?

sjm100 · 06/02/2024 11:55

@Mykidsmyworld4 congratulations, that is really encouraging, my scan date is 06/11 fingers crossed I hear something soon

Mothertothreeboys · 06/02/2024 11:50

IvyGrace · 06/02/2024 11:42

@Emma2345 thank you!

Emma2345 · 06/02/2024 11:41

@IvyGrace I had a little nosey they back date it to the date you was awarded from ,, but you have to notify them as soon as you no otherwise they will only back date 1 months xx

Emma2345 · 06/02/2024 11:39

@Mykidsmyworld4 that’s really good I’m not far off you my scan dates 22nd November hopefully you get a decision soon x

IvyGrace · 06/02/2024 11:39

@Emma2345 thank you, I feel so overwhelmed by it all. I think it is £5480 a year I read somewhere for HRC. Just wondered if they backdate it or increase future payments to catch up

Hi,

I’ve been following this thread for a couple of weeks now! Scan date 19/10. It was due to be back by 16/10. Posted on 9/10. If approved will I only get back pay from the scan date, rather than when I phoned for the forms, as it was scanned a few days late? I’ve sent off some more evidence yesterday, which I’m hoping they will receive soon! I’m quite annoyed, as I’ve seen others say they’ve been able to post recorded ect and my post office said I wasn’t allowed to due to where it was going?

@IvyGrace hi I have just googled and their does seem to be 1 maybe just ring up to double check as I don’t no for sure about tax credits xx

IvyGrace · 06/02/2024 11:33

Is there a disabled element and carer element for tax credits or is that just for universal credit? Please help

ASDMumma85 · 06/02/2024 10:12

I'm on hold now to see if extra evidence I sent a few weeks ago has been scanned on. I really hope I don't get someone rude as I have bad anxiety with making phonecalls as it is.
Scan date 10/10

Let me know how you get on as I'm the same scan date haha! Good luck... I hate ringing them too.

Lindsey89 · 06/02/2024 11:21

@Jonesy0102 i agree not seen many awards so far this week on here last week I read quite a few

Jonesy0102 · 06/02/2024 11:00

Great thank you

I'm not sure if I should wait for the confirmation that they have recieved forms before sending the extra supporting documents.
I should have hung on another week but looking at how long you have all been waiting I just couldn't hang around. Stress

Jonesy0102 · 06/02/2024 11:19

Lindsey89 · 06/02/2024 11:04

@Jonesy0102 i know it's made my anxiety worse tbh wished I didn't bother ringing don't think I'll bother ringing with my sons once that's sent off makes the wait worse

So does these threads 🙄 x

Emma2345 · 06/02/2024 11:09

Does anyone no how long renewals are taking ? My claim is up begining of march I’ve filled & sent all forms back but still not heard anything ?

2kidsmumm · 06/02/2024 11:07

Thanks. So annoying when they don't know how they work themselves x

Sunflower1808 · 06/02/2024 11:05

@Lindsey89 i honestly havent a clue any more , as some people have said thwy have said its with the dm some say the person say they cant. I generally think the people on the phone make it up as they go along just to stop people calling.
I havent got much more either only a letter saying physio have received the ots referral and a ehcp which like you is in progress , and the evidence i sent 2 weeks ago that they dont have yet so may have to use that again if i get a decline x

Thank you, so any extra evidence just put in envelope and send to the same address? I'm guessing just add his name and NHS number to top of page ?

Lindsey89 · 06/02/2024 10:49

@Jonesy0102 yes she said that information isnt available to her she can see all the evidence I sent in October but when I said it's been 17 weeks she just kept repeating I can assure ya it won't be long I don't know what make of it ill give it til next week like she said and ring back.

Thanks for letting me know sorry I didn’t see the first of your last two messages but seen it now if I hear I’ll let you know it’s mad seeing people get awards after your scan date or well before it adds to the Angst of it all x

rosey1993 · 06/02/2024 10:55

@Lindsey89 03/10 is my scan date

Summerrp · 06/02/2024 10:54

Jonesy0102 · 06/02/2024 10:42

Send photocopies of originals to same address and do it via signed for delivery that way you have proof they’ve received it you can send evidence in up until they make a decision
