[Tiredmamma74]

New thread as others are full

Hi
haven’t had any text in 15wks now , what are the texts they send ?
are they just saying they dealing with claim etc ?

No need to call if you’ve received a letter confirming the date that the award started:)

Nothing special. they say

We are still looking at your DLA1 Child claim. When a decision is made we will confirm it in writing. There is no need to contact us about it.

i received two texts two letters

We got mc and lm today at 17+1 day...over the moon though they will only back date till the scan date. Apparently it didn't get there in time...in reality it took them two weeks to scan.

Congratulations! How did you find out you had been awarded.

Congratulations! How did you know you have been awarded.

It's suppose to be awarded from the day you rang to make the claim.

@Ellejkjlljhb have you received any news if it’s with DM yet? I think we are same scan date x

Oh wow, did you call? I am 17 weeks on Wednesday so I’m so tempted to ring next Thursday x congratulations x

Hi all, I got a text then phoned to check rates. I then questioned why it was only from scan date...they said cus it was after the six weeks and hung up...she was a very grumpy lady.

I sent my forms after four weeks....aparrently it took three weeks to arrive and be scanned...

Oh no that’s not fair, what are these people like, did you send recorded or just the free post? As if you have proof of it getting there then you could argue it x congratulations though x

They do take ages I posted mine on the 2nd June and wasn't scanned til the 15th if I was abit more aware I would have posted and got them signed for bet I would have had a decision by now if I did

I sent recorded on the 13th and was scanned on the 14th so they definately prioritise recorded x

I sent free post but was working with welfare rights. I'm gonna put a complaint in but imagine nothing will happen. Everyone should send recorded if possible. Its £600 less...

@zoeybrooks45 @Tiredmamma74 @MummyBrx @Mummytodo looks like we may get a result next week 😬

I agree, send recorded if possible, my form was late because the sen nursery teacher was on anual leave when it was due and I’ve wrote that on the form. However it cost me 11.13 to send next day delivery and not everyone has that. I sent on 29th June and it wasn’t scanned until 6th July. Yet they received it the next day

I sent it recorded and it was signed 23/7 and scanned onto their system 25/7. A few on here took weeks. Definitely best sent recorded.

I really hope so hope we all get good news.🤞 16 weeks today for me so still at least another week. I'm thinking it's likely to be week commencing 16th October I'll hear going off average wait times.

As soon as I know I will post on here :)

I hope we do. I’m really poorly atm with diverticular disease so I’ve not really had a chance to worry about it. I’m sure by Wednesday I’ll be biting my nails 😬

Hope you feel better soon! X

Hope this weekend isn't too stressful for everyone either waiting for a decision or a md 🤗
It's going to be a nice weekend so hopefully the sunshine will help us all. (am trying to convince myself 🤣) ❤️

Does anyone know how long it takes for UC to respond/act on the backdated disabled child element?

Hi all- sorry if this has been covered but I don't think I can see anything, do they make decisions over weekend? My claim was sent to DM weds and I called today and still with them so I know helpline is closed but wondering if theres a chance I might have a result by Monday :)
Thanks
