Hey I also was told that they go a day after scan date so if it’s 5/7 they go with 6/7
also scan date 5/7
called Monday they lost dd claim so had to go through all that agro with finding it then to be told they messed the claims up so I will have to wait another 2-3weeks
good luck to everyone today!!!

@roki scanned onto the system lovely. I was so close to going to a decision maker so needed it in on time so I sent it tracked & signed! They recieved it the next day and I rang up to make sure it had been scanned on as I wanted it looked at when it went to the DM! He double checked and said they had it & they attached it to my claim! Persistence is key. Anyone sending evidence in tracked, keep phoning and requesting for it to be added asap as some people get told it can take weeks to assign it to the claim.

Congratulations!!!!
Try calling later but you can have some peace now knowing that is a positive result.

I sent it but the guy at the post office didn't let me send it next day and tracked. He said is a freepost address so we are not supposed to do that... So I sent normally unfortunately. :(

@MilaMom no way really? They send mine off! I did use another address though, it was the post site in wolves? I was told to send it straight there! Keep phoning lovely!

@Alasitsme congrats!

Hi I sent my forms back 28/7 received a letter to say they had received 1/8. Be 15 weeks Friday since sending them back. Had 2 letters and 2 texts. One text 9/10 and one 31/10. Really worried about it as my friends only took 16 weeks 2 days from sending her forms back💖

@Kelz23 I updated my UC circumstances beginning of October, took 3 weeks for someone to reply to my message saying it was with a DM. Got the letter to say back pay had been approved Monday, then got the letter of what was was owed yesterday and payment is incoming to my bank for tomorrow. Have you had any correspondence from UC at all?

Hi @AnneD96 they is a very long wait at the moment most arnt getting decisions till 18-19 weeks hun I’m over 17 weeks… but keep onto them see where it’s at also good luck xxxxx

mine was also tracked sent it on the 4th ot october when i tracke it it was sign on the 10th of october, probaly as you said yours was reaching near time for décision, as my scan date is 25th july, so had more time . also when i spoke to him i ask if i have enough time to sen my son EHCP report, as i have it now, he told me no need to keep for now just in case i have to renew my claim then i can send it, it gave me glimpse of hope that they might awand me? who know , anyway i will keep it for now , i wont be calling them again until after i reach 19 weeks. am in 15 weeks now. cant deal with the stress i rather speand my day reading here 😂.

Thank you! She was only awarded hers 2 weeks ago so seems to be different for different people. I’m going to call them next week if nothing as letter says 15 weeks xx

mine 25th july, dont think we will hear anything before the end of november beginning of december, just try not to focus on it , i know is not easy, i only called them today for the first time to check if they have received my exta info, even that is another nightmare.good luck to all of us. this group is fantastic .

@AnneD96 i would say end November/December for decision as they are at wound 18 weeks to go to decision maker hun! I know it doesn’t make sense some isn’t waiting as long as others it’s confusing! I wish we would al hear soon! Xxxxx

@BoyMumGirlMum2022 no I only updated yesterday but I don’t have work coach either. So I don’t know if they get notified when I update my claim. Last time with my youngest I had to make official complaint as no one responded.

I’m holding out till Friday, when I start to see 7/7 awarded we should be next

Hi, I did my change of circumstances on the 22nd October, got a letter to say it’s been accepted on the 3rd November but haven’t heard nothing since. Tried to ring UC and they can’t tell me anything, how long does it take after been accepted x

I have added dla on to my uc claim yesterday. Statement was due today anyway which is showing now that it been added. What do I do about back pay. How do I ask about it

I feel like the awards are becoming slow? Or is it just me as I’m so close lol! Xxxxxx

@Rebeccanew yes I feel yest and today awards seem slow, I'm only 17 weeks tmoz, hoping we see some more early July dates come through x
