Hi the Second thread ended because when it reaches a 1000 comments it will close I thought I would set this up so everyone can talk again

@Jneill2021 bloody brilliant well done hun just a waiting game for us for uc to pay up 🤷‍♀️🤣 xx

@Lula82
It's normal to feel anxious. They received my daughters form 14th Oct so another 2 weeks I hope. From the minute I sent off the form it's constantly on my mind. Fingers crossed for everyone who hasn't heard anything yet. Xx

@Lula82 a bit of a wait, and it's a horrible anxious wait, so feel free to come back and chat with me throughout.

Thank you, I'm really anxious to see if our son is successful. My main concern is they only consider mobility at 3 years old if there is absolutely no mobility or little which would endanger them. He uses aids, a walker and is being fitted for a wheelchair this month. But he I fear they may try and put that part off until he is 5 years old, but my main hope is to get into the motability scheme to get a car with wheelchair access... So it would mess that plan up if he's not awarded it this time round.

@DeludedWench thanks so much for the reply...long wait ahead then!
Good luck for your decision, hope all goes well! Will keep an eye out for an update x

DeludedWench · 03/12/2021 19:55

@Lula82 I have been told 8-10 weeks all throughout. About to get our decision Monday/Tuesday.

So you're looking at 11th Jan - 25th Jan Smile

Lula82 · 03/12/2021 19:45

Just rang and there is still no decision. Lady said as they are working on claims around that date, it can take anywhere from now until Sunday for the decision to be made.

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 09:50

@Alk19 thank you, I called yesterday done the change of circumstances, I checked after all sorted coning up in receipt of hrc, I put a note on journal about the backdate but suppose be a long wait before anyone gets back to me lol xx

Alk19 · 03/12/2021 09:45

@Jneill2021 I'm the same I don't have a work coach either adding the elements shouldn't be a problem it's the backdate that is but hopefully won't be for you make sure when you change your circumstances to put it in your journal you want it backdated to the start of your dla claim Xx

Jneill2021 · 03/12/2021 09:37

@Alk19 ok yeah I'm dreding dealing with uc as I don't even have a work coach, so them getting back to me just in general takes forever xx
