Hiya, I was just wondering if anybody knew how long it takes to recieve the backdated payment after a decision has been made? Thanks

I'd like to know this too I imagine it's the usual avg 3-5 working days but not sure

I just tried calling (scan date 25/1) on hold for 1hr 10 mins and no answer 😲

My sons decision was made on Good Friday just gone, received the money in my bank today which was quick considering Monday was a bank holiday too but I think it's usually around 4 days

Thanks for this! The case manager rang me yesterday to ask a few bits and said she would make a decision yesterday too so fingers crossed it is good news!

@ccx
Fingers crossed for you! My sons was decided in a day so really hoping yours is! It was the worst wait and im glad it's over 😅

ERG123 · 13/04/2023 19:31

Are you able to say what number they call from? I’m week 12 today scan date 19/1 so know it will be soon but don’t always answer my phone to unknown numbers so would help if I had a heads up :)

It was an 0800 number! I missed the first one but got a text saying it was them and a time they were ringing back, hope that helps!

ERG123 · 13/04/2023 19:49

Thank you!

mr5t · 13/04/2023 20:52

scan date was 17th Jan, called last week and was told around 13 weeks, seen ppl on Facebook have been awarded around this date…. The wait is killing me!!

Leigh3 · 13/04/2023 21:25

It’s such an exhausting wait! My scan date is 21/01 I don’t know if I should feel hopeful for a 12 week wait or not 🤦🏽‍♀️ I think I might call them next week.

Lodol · 14/04/2023 11:06

I rang today and it is still with a decision maker, so they usually work over the weekend does anyone know?

Mariekel · 14/04/2023 11:38

@Lodol same here mines been there since Tuesday and yes they have people covering the back log over weekend

Lodol · 14/04/2023 11:51

Have you received a phone call or anything from them?
some people seem to be receiving a decision quickly

Mariekel · 14/04/2023 12:24

@Lodol no I've had nothing just keep ringing up , I'm hoping it's done over week end as already with dm . How long has your been with dm for?

Lodol · 14/04/2023 12:31

I’m not sure they just said yesterday was with them so only assuming since yesterday as I rang this morning and said it’s still with them I know sometimes they send a text but I don’t think everyone does

hadenoughofhisshit · 14/04/2023 12:46

How are people getting through?? My calls are never answered

Sarahc91 · 14/04/2023 13:07

Currently on hold, scan date 19th Jan hopefully it's at least with a DM now🤞🤞

Lodol · 14/04/2023 13:08

I got through, mine isn't with DM yet but they said should be 13 weeks so should be within week or two but said it was good I'd called as I have 2 claims in for 2 children and they hadn't been joined to be looked at together so she's done that now and she said that May speed it up - good luck
