Think it's quicker in northern ireland as its a different system

Keeks11 · 11/09/2023 22:40

Scan date 10/5. Called on Friday and was told its with DM, should hear this week. Was told I might get a text depends if DM is in office or working at home.
How long does it usually take? I've seen many post of ppl already been awarded around same scan date. And if successful how long before I get backdated pay?
Will update the thread once I get a decision. Xx

It seems as though we are between 10-20 May. Some are getting decisions earlier then others but this does not mean you are getting declined, some DM are faster than other. Hopefully by the end of the week we will have a better idea of dates once people start getting award

Hi. Does anyone know how long after the second automated text “we are still looking at your claim” that a decision will be made? Thanks

The last text I had like that was my second text and it was August 7th haven't had another since and it's only just gone to DM

Piony · 12/09/2023 10:27

@JME85 I don't know how closely related they are. Ours was awarded 30 days after second text, but I didn't know until I rang up a few days after that. The letter followed about 4-5 days after I'd rung.

Mumof42005 · 12/09/2023 11:43

Hi our scan date is also 13/6, and I received a text this morning saying to not call etc etc. it’s such a wait isn’t it?. Thanks for everyone’s updates, as it’s really helped x

MinnieTruck · 12/09/2023 11:45

Thanks for the thread!

I sent my son’s forms via Freepost in January and it wasn’t received. I had to get forms out and sent to me again so his scan date was in March. I found out in July that he was awarded MRC. He’s only 16 months old so I was very grateful.

Now onto my DD who is 2. I called for forms at the end of July and sent them in August. I sent them via recorded delivery and saw that it was delivered the next day on 11th of August. Haven’t received a letter to say it’s been received so I called them last week Friday. Well surprise, surprise the forms aren’t on the system and can’t be found.

As I have the tracking details, I provided it to the lovely woman on the phone and she said she’ll send an email so that someone can look for it manually. I have to wait 10 days so it means we’ve wasted nearly 6 weeks. IF the forms get found then the wait time will start from then. If they aren’t found then I have to start again. I’m so pissed!

Chels2020 · 12/09/2023 11:48

Coc from 24/03 still nothing

Mammabear15 · 12/09/2023 11:49

Did you hear? They received my claim 11/5 and I’ve still not heard. It’s 18 weeks on Thurs and worried we’ve been rejected!x

Ellejkjlljhb · 12/09/2023 11:54

I've had 2 letters and three text now I don't think it means anything tbh

Ellejkjlljhb · 12/09/2023 11:56
