Thought I'd continue the thread as it had reached its limit.

My application will be awhile before any response but scanned 5 July and nothing yet.

Well I was on hold for 45 minutes waiting to get through. Its being looked at TWO DAYS BEFORE its due to expire! Personally I think that's disgusting! Scan date beginning of June and his current award expires 30th September.

Scan date was 12th July. Received a letter on the 27th july to say we were not entitled for either child. Sent in a mandatory reconsideration on the same day.
20th September money received into bank! Called them up and they said one of my children has been given HRC and LRM for 2 years!! Beyond happy!
My other child’s claim is with the decision maker.

@2under2and1more I’m really happy for you! Can you please give me any advice on what extra evidence etc I need to send for mandatory reconsideration? Found out today after 13 weeks waiting that they have declined my sons late renewal claim, even though I’ve been claiming for him for 6 years previous to this!

Sarahjlk · 21/09/2022 13:37

Still with a decision maker… arrrgh! Said it could be today or it can take up to 2 weeks for them to make a decision. Losing the will to live.

Girlmum25 · 21/09/2022 13:49

@Sarahjlk aw no!!;! Hopefully they do it today. Yesterday mine had not been looked at either and today it's been awarded so it can be done quite quickly xx

Noneyerbuisness11234 · 21/09/2022 13:51

It's awful @Sarahjlk hopefully I'll have a decision this week and I forgot to say congratulations to the girls that got awarded so happy for use
