[Billie1993]

Following on from part 18
as there’s only around 30 comments left x

@Tmxx I know how you feel on that in regards to checking up on here daily as I seemed to find myself doing the exact same thing lol

@Billie1993 it's all I do 500 times a day! I already cant wait for tomorrow to see what dates are hearing back 😩 🤣 xx

I didnt call and never recieved my scan date but I sent the forms back by recorded delivery 4/7 and recieved a txt today to say that my daughter has been awarded 🙏

Anybody else just wait up till midnight to see if the backpay drops so u know ur wait is over r just me 🫣

My scan date is 18/07 last text 16/10 16 weeks today wait. I rang yesterday and they told me 19 weeks wait and not to call back untill end of November 🙈

@Mammyto4c I’m 19/7 i called up a few days ago and he said i should hear something week of 20/11 but if I haven’t heard anything by 30/11 to call back, I think some of them just tell you the longest you can wait to avoid us calling

@Mammyto4c My scan dates the 17/7 when I called Monday the automated message said if it's been over 15 week than call for an update so I'd call as many times as you want, it's ridiculous that it's taking this long anyway

Morning guys, anyone calling today?

just checked and my eldest review papers were delivered yesterday. good to know they have them at least

Currently on hold
scan date 10/7
good luck everyone xxxx

Hi for people who had decisions how long after updating uc have they responded to say they will send to decision maker for backdating disability element please

@Rebeccanew good luck hun! I don't understand how randomly people get awarded so soon, just seen on the Facebook page someone has been awarded from 13th July, they had only waited 16 weeks! Xx

@Tmxx wow 16th we’re never that lucky 😅 wish I would be picked randomly lol I’m expecting them to say it’s in holding que or something the same old usual 😂 xxxxxx

@Rebeccanew was the 13th sorry! But I just don't understand and I want to understand 🤣 xxx

@Tmxx I’m sure a odd one gets tossed in the works 😅 iv seen that a few times now…I’ll be a bag of nerves I’d they say it’s with decision maker mind lol xxxxxx

Just got off the phone, just feel deflated, was told my form will not be looked at until the end of this month, scan date 13/7 😔

Just off the phone.
Scan date 6/7
Went to a case manager yesterday
Told they will "hopefully have a decision this month" 😳 It better be sooner than that!!

Still on hold 22 mins in getting longer to answer at 9am now xxxxxx

@Alasitsme i really don’t know how they work all this out! Everyone gets told something completely different I swear 😂. Everyone on here from the 3rd has had a decision & mines “still with the DM” after a week 😫 it’s SO stressful!

This is a nightmare, they seriously need to change the process starting with not telling people it’s 15 weeks

Hello 👋, I sent my forms back on the 30th of October, I haven't heard anything yet , will they contact me when they receive the forms?

@NatalieAnn92x tbh I think they just say what they feel like…the wait is becoming a struggle now xxxxx

Just come off the phone
10/7
they said it will be with a case manager by the end of this week we’re getting there slowly xxxxxx

@NatalieAnn92x have you called today xx

@Rebeccanew honestly! I get it’s 18 weeks, the majority of us are with a DM at 18 weeks. But some people get a decision straight away? I’m sure they have deadlines to reach at some point? They just said to me “the DM has 2 weeks to make a decision”. Yet someone else said I should hear back beginning of this week and nothing lol. Yet @Alasitsme was told sometime this month? 😫 I already have anxiety and the longer it goes on, the more it’s spiking 😂😂. I want to keep calling but at the same time I don’t want to take up someone else’s space just to be told to wait again 🤦‍♀️😂
