How do you know your scan date? My form reached them by recorded delivery on 22nd November, so in for a long wait!

Emat19833 · 29/11/2024 21:33

If you ring them they will tell you when they logged It into system that what date they go by with the 20weeks I sent my forms signed for on the 9th they uploaded it to system 18th July and will make descion within 20 weeks which will take it to 5th December

Mumtomadhouse · 05/12/2024 08:21

Anyone heard anything ? 19 weeks for me 2day 🙏

Redflowerpurple · 05/12/2024 08:23

Are renewals done quicker to coincide with the award end date? Really worried ours won’t be done in time otherwise as sent it back 10 weeks before award ends and the letter says up to 15 weeks but is that a generic letter are renewals on a different system and done in order ?

IncessantNameChanger · 05/12/2024 08:30

I added new circumstances in July and phoned last week. It's still not been looked at so I'm sending in more evidence as a lot has changed while we have been waiting. I hope I don't have appeal after all of this. Dd has never been on the right banding but I didn't fight it. Can't ignore it any more.

Emat19833 · 05/12/2024 11:25

School that's all I sent and was awdared within weeks...20 weeks is very long then if more Info needed more waiting

Our scan date was 15/08, we did a change of circumstances as our daughter turned 3 and we're hoping to get the higher mobility allowance so we can get a new adapted van through motability scheme, had the news yesterday our current car needs a part for £3,700 so hoping we get it through soon so we can get a new van instead of having to pay that much, 16 weeks today and hoping we don't hit trouble claiming as my daughter is completely immobile but under 5!

Emat19833 · 05/12/2024 15:45

Hi :-)
been a silent watcher. Confirmed scan date for my little boys claim was on 11th October 2024. (awaiting autism diagnosis, allergies, asthma and eczema) Hopefully not too much longer to wait as it has been 14 weeks now. I did receive a letter a few weeks ago saying to some effect that they are still investigating and apologising for the delay in decision time response. And that there is no need to contact them. It such a stress waiting but fingers crossed we get something even if if it is the lower component of care- will still be a sizeable backdated payment. I really should have applied for DLA for him 12 months ago but put it off. Doing the form was traumatic enough, my printer nearly gave up after the form and the photocopying evidence that was accumulated (I probably sent too much 2bf!)
Fingers crossed for everyone getting what the children deserve!
