[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

Gin helps

It most definitely does hahahaha

agreed !!! haha LOTS of gin..... x

Can somebody please clarify something for me as i think im confusing myself. My scan date is 18/9 so how many weeks am i today which is the 23rd Jan am i 17 weeks? As i see some people have said theyre on 17 weeks but theyre scan date was before mine so please clarify for me. Thanks so much

I will be pouring my ritualistic post claim gin when the kids go to bed haha

18+1 I believe you are now… @GoldenTango

I’ve been following since November and it felt like they were taking forever with August dates but since new year they seem to be whizzing through the September dates 🙏🏼
feels like October dates will soon be coming through… happy to see all the positive awards your babies are getting 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I dont think they count Christmas week. I should be 7 weeks yesterday but they are saying i am only 6 for MR @GoldenTango xx

@FlutterByASD im very relaxed now lol. P wouldn’t get mobility till she is three, so if a decision is made just before then payments shouldn’t be delayed to start on her birthday 🤞🏼 or a month after 😊

As anyone had coc award around September dates

@126t I'm 20/9 for coc still waiting

So shocked called them today after the DM called me Friday and my son age 7 has been awarded HRC and LRM! First time applying... so happy for my boy 💙 xXx

Congratulations @Sunshinesun hopefully the money is in your bank in the next few days! Can I ask what you scan date was?

@Hayz0711 both of my letters say 11 weeks x

@Claudb98 my first one said 11, second said up to 15 weeks. By the looks of it, it’s going to be a lot longer than that!🤦‍♀️ x

@mamaneedswine
hello love when did you sent extra evidence? My scan date is 27/9 I sent extra evidence two weeks ago and it’s not been scanned yet

@Hayz0711 yes I’m starting to think March time now which feels like a lifetime away!

Thankyou. I may try calling tomorrow 🤞.
im so pleased for you, I bet it’s a huge relief.

Anyone know how long roughly it's taking for a DM to make a decision on back pay for UC?

@FlutterByASD Thank you ☺️ 13/09 x

@siobhangrace I sent the extra evidence on Friday afternoon by special delivery. I was surprised that they had scanned it already.

Hi does anyone know if the DM's always call? or is it random. Like has anybody been awarded with no phone call?

I didn’t have a call or text for either of my kids when they were awarded. Money just appeared in my bank.

@Sunshinesun Oh you're slightly behind everyone else. Glad you finally have your award 🥳

I have weirdly had a decision maker accept the late reporting for the carer’s element but no decision yet on the disabled child element? I reported Thursday, they came back to me same day asking the reason it was late and the decision maker sent a letter late Friday afternoon saying ok you can have your carers backdated. I messaged to ask last night (Monday) when it would be backdated and paid and the guy said he’s waiting for a decision on the disabled child element?! Why they didn’t make the decision at the same time I really don’t know 🙄
