Thanks for the new thread 💛

Scan date 21/07
1st text 25/09
2nd text 16/10

Rang earlier for the first time and the gentleman said new claims are taking approximately 18 weeks to be allocated.
I asked if I could be text once a decision has been made and he explained that not all DM can send text's as they hybrid work and don't always have the facility to send a message.

I'm not expecting to hear anything for a for few weeks yet by listening to everyone else.

Good luck to those waiting for news 🤞.

Following from last thread, for anyone who's sent extra evidence am I right in thinking I've read I'd need to put ref number on the envelope along with child's name & DOB underneath the postal address? Or have i made this up?

Shezza8507 · 07/11/2023 13:46

@Tmxx said taking upto 19 and half weeks, I should hear something by 20th November 🙄😩

Mummyrach13 · 07/11/2023 14:12

@Mrsstephens04 no I didn’t put it on the envelope just inside on each paper, I sent about 6 different lots of evidence at different times and all like that, signed for too the address and they were all uploaded to my Claim within a matter of days x

Parking myself in here to still support everyone waiting on decisions 🥰

Shezza8507 · 07/11/2023 14:49

@Rebeccanew my scan date 7/7 my last text was 2/10

Sskanf · 07/11/2023 14:54

The wait times ridiculous
Has anyone on here ever applied for family fund? I was granted a cash award for day trips but its been around 4 days not received it

Jaysworld · 07/11/2023 14:59

@Asdmummyhere its confusing isn’t it! I’m sure they would have seen there is writing on both sides and scanned them on? I printed the document out myself and did it double sided so hopefully they will have scanned both on 😅 x

I applied for family fund but was declined a few days later saying we didn’t qualify without a diagnosis 🫣
