@Mommaof2babas it said he qualified hun, I was dreading the just made a decision text as I've seen it's a decline xx

Billie1993 · 09/11/2023 12:01

@Mommaof2babas hopefully we hear soon 🤞🏻it’s making me more and more nervous thinking did I send enough 🫣

@Kaymumof4 this gives me hope in soon finding out.

anyone with the last text date of 9/10 there does seem to be some what of a pattern it gives me hope for us to find out either over the weekend or early next week.

also another question for you lovely laddies around the same scan date I called on the 9th June for the forms but they stamped it on the 10th June which is a Saturday so I am curious what was the beginning dates for you like the dates you called and what it says on the stamped form (the start of the 6 week time scale it needed to be in by)

sorry if this doesn’t make any sense x

I’m scan date 7/7 and last text 2/10 ❤️

Asdmummyhere · 09/11/2023 12:02

@Billie1993 yes my last text was also 2/10. 18 weeks exactly today. The only thing that's baffled me is he's awarded from 12th July although scan date is 6th. Not going to argue about a week though xx

Has anyone getting their backdate from UC yet? I got my letter the 3rd November stating I qualify from the decision makers but still no letter to say how much and when it will be going in the bank?

I've just updated my journal and put a note onto payments. Hope I've done everything correct, hope u hear soon xx

@Billie1993 I can't remember what date i phoned but my formed stamped 10th june aswell, which I was a bit confused about as its a Saturday but says that if the forms are back before the deadline date the backdated money starts from the stamped date so for us it'll be 10th june! Hopefully we don't have much of a wait now, I phoned last Friday and this Monday and got told should be end of this week/Monday to go to a DM then phoned this morning and had a not very nice women saying its taking longer now but tbh I'm going to take that with a pinch of salt after being told the same thing twice! I'm going to phone again monday/Tuesday x

Billie1993 · 09/11/2023 12:07

@househead13 you also should be hearing very soon too hun 🥰 my fingers are also crossed for you also.

@Asdmummyhere did you send it back within the 6 weeks period they give? And to be fair at least it was only a week and they didn’t take more of you, I am so happy your wait is finally over for you and now you can relax xx

Wow it’s nice to see that there another stamp date of the 10th June and I’m not going insane as my thoughts exactly that it’s a weekend, so I’m hoping we will find out over the weekend if not then beginning of next week, I’m also calling up either Monday or Wednesday as if we haven’t heard anything by Wednesday we will be 18 weeks exactly.

its so deflating when they tell us different things why can’t they just be consistent, I have a feeling our are in the same pile, same scan date, same texts and same stamp date too x

hi everyone,

my scan date is 05-07 and my last text is 2/10 and I got through on the phone after an hour an half to a man that just said it’s gone to a specific decision maker and that’s all. The text they send out let you know if the decision is favourable or not. So I am Ringing everyday but nothing is changing. It’s so hard waiting 18 weeks….and who knows how much longer.

good luck to everyone else still waiting also.

Cheesywiggles · 09/11/2023 12:12

@Asdmummyhere finally got through after nearly 1.5 hours of holding! It's with a dm finally but no decision as of yet. At least I know it's with a dm now , feel even more nervous then I did before 🤣 I asked if I would get a text message when the decision is made and she just said I don't know but you will definitely get a letter in the post xx

Asdmummyhere · 09/11/2023 12:15

@Billie1993 no it was a couple of days late so assumed it would go off stamp date but it hasn't. I called for forms on 18th may. I'm so happy I can get my boy his bed now. @Cheesywiggles so glad it's with a DM not for you. Not long to go, I'll keep checking in xx

Rebeccanew · 09/11/2023 12:16

@Tmxx yeyy I see a 10/7 date I really hope we’re soon! Congratulations all on your awards xxxxx

househead13 · 09/11/2023 12:18

Good luck ladies! It’s mad I wasn’t remotely bothered until it hit 16 weeks now I’m checking on here and my bank constantly 😂 Can’t wait to get back to normal now. Xx

Mrsstephens04 · 09/11/2023 12:23

I sent in extra evidence yesterday for next day delivery, it was delivered and signed for at 6.07am this morning. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to match it up with my original forms scan date 26/07 not sure if this is done as a quick process or if it's going to take wees or even set me back longer 😔 now wishing I hadn't even bothered 🤣 was going to call up tomorrow to see if it's been opened and out with other paperwork but is that too keen?

Mommaof2babas · 09/11/2023 12:25

@Billie1993 awh I know it's good to know we're potentially together and all dates are the same! And I think that's what getting to me more aswell is the inconsistencies of what we're getting told! Good luck! Hoping we hear something early next week! X

Hardingcl · 09/11/2023 12:28

My scan date 18/7 I'm getting so nervous now. I sent detailed form, 6 school ieps and ot appointment letter. Will have EP and ot report and confirmation of referral for adhd in the next few weeks so at least I've got them if I need to do MR.
I'm praying for a positive award 🙏 xx The closer its getting the more nervous I am. Not sure I can deal with waiting on a MR decision xx

Clairexdx · 09/11/2023 12:40

Iv just seen on fb a random 21/7 been awarded! I’m 14/7 gives me some hope x

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 12:50

@Rebeccanew so my thought process now is hoping you are done tomorrow or over the weekend as your scan date was the last date in the 2/10 second texts everyone got meaning maybe end of the week as tou could have been bottom of the 2/10 pile for that week! Then with Me being a day behind and being 9/10 for second text hopfully that means I am top of the next lot the dms get for working on the next week If that makes sense xx

I'm not 100% but pretty sure they go from the Wednesday after whenever your start date so this would explain this xx
