Scan date 28/9
Rang today and it’s with a dm

Snap same scan date!

Scan date 24/09 on hold, fingers crossed its at least with dm now. Have podiatry report and unsure whether to send it or hold it back if I need to do a MR

It’s seems like everyone else around the same day has me are getting told it’s with DM I’m wonder if the lady I spoke to got it wrong🤦🏻‍♀️ to be in a que with a DM is just dragging it out

@Naylor19 @Asdmomof2
MR 6/12
Thankyou 🙂
I've just called to say I'm sending my sons new EHCP. It's now with a case manager! They've put a note on the system saying to hold off until evidence received tomorrow. I will call Thursday am to make sure they've received and maybe a positive outcome 🤞 😊 🙏

New claim scan date 28/09
Rang last wednesday was still waiting to be sent to DM

Fingers crossed for everyone ringing today. Hopefully you all get good news! I think most of us late September scan dates will have answers before the end of the week.

Does anybody know how long it takes uc to back date the child disability element? I contacted them on Friday to let them know the changeof circumstances was told referred to case manager yesterday, I'm sure I've seen in the past people getting it on the same day?? This is also confusing for me

Does anyone know the difference between a case manager and decision maker? I am currently on week 10 of a mandatory reconsideration and called for an update to be told its with a case manager now. Xox

Case Managers are a lower grade brought in to help Decision Makers clear some of the backlog. I think they do a lot of the checking before a final decision is authorised by a DM.

I agree with @RainbowZebraWarrior they are a grade down from a DM, they essentially do most of the clerical and admin side of things then cases are forwarded over to be finalised by a DM.

Scan date 13/10 just managed to get through he says I have around a week to send in extra evidence and to send asap but apart from that he was quite rude and clearly just wanted me off the phone was on hold 57 minutes so not as bad as previous

Ahh I thoight they were both the same thing now I'm trying to remember if the lady said mines with cm or dm🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm 28/9 too and mine was with a CM last Wednesday and is now with a DM so I'm expecting a decision in the next couple of days.

Can anyone help please when informing tax credits what date do I give them when it says when did you start claiming dla today the day I got the payment or the date it’s backdated from thank you in advance

It's the date they have awarded it from. I've just had to do this for my PIP, and I waited for the letter to be absolutely certain (even though I'd rang and got all the details)

If you are absolutely sure of the date it's been backdated to, put that date and then add that you've only just had the decision.

Thank you I’m going to wait for the letter I think just to make sure how long wait is the letter
