No lovely, nothing yet looking at some of the posts it seems people are being paid or accepted after the 7th which is confusing order if it depends on who has that stack of cases. I haven't had anything through though myself so 🤷 😕. Guess it is just a wait game now, I don't know whether to ring after work and see where it is just can't bare the thought of waiting on hold to be told no news lol x

Can someone please tell me the address to send further evidence thanks

5anddone · 13/12/2023 11:52

@Lauren2121 I called this morning and was awarded Monday!
Fingers crossed for you!

Shade87 · 13/12/2023 11:53

@Ash135 still with a DM and has been since Monday
...the lady this morning said upto 5 working days for a decision and I will get a text.

MummytoJacob14 · 13/12/2023 11:55

I've just missed a call and now feeling really stressed. I only get a 30 minute break and doubt that'll be long enough to wait on hold. Why do they usually call?

Shade87 · 13/12/2023 11:57

@Shade87 THANK YOU X

NeuroDmummy · 13/12/2023 12:01

Anyone any updates on how long UC are taking. They told me it went to a decision maker on the 6th and still nothing from UC regards the disabled child element being added.

NeuroDmummy · 13/12/2023 12:03

@Shade87 I got awarded on two separate claims on the 29th nov and still have no text from either!

Ash135 · 13/12/2023 12:07

@LmumL @Shade87 I've just had a call from the DM, he was lovely. Confirmed bank details and said he will send me a text today. xx

@5anddone yay that's great news, I've been hanging around waiting to hear x

MummytoJacob14 · 13/12/2023 12:12

@Ash135 Is that all they wanted?
I've just had a missed call and stressing about it! Congratulations

Ash135 · 13/12/2023 12:14

@MummytoJacob14 he said I had missed a question about if the child had 12 months or less to live and needed to confirm bank details. He rang and I missed the call, I got a text from DLA saying they would call back between 11.55 and 12 then he called again. xx

Question for those who have been awarded recently…how long did it take for the letter to come through?

Lulakate84 · 13/12/2023 13:33

Hi all quick one I am still awaiting decision but I have changed my bank account in the months we've been waiting. Do I need to contact DLA to tell them? Thanks

Thank you! Really feel for everyone still waiting, I was really surprised to get the text so soon, 18 weeks to the day since scan date, really thought we would be waiting a long time. Called for the rates and got what we were expecting. Really hope you all get good news soon x
