Back pay will go in over night rather than a same day transfer. Unless you're with monzo and it let's you get it the day before!

Good luck everyone still waiting. A glass of wine helps at night 🤷‍♀️

@Siobhangrace gives me hope others around my date are still waiting too.

I am going to ring at 9 see if I can get an answer so I’m not riddled with anxiety over the weekend. Will update when I know.

ShellyDerbyshire · 02/02/2024 08:55

I went to ring a couple of days ago but when it said don't ring before 20 weeks I panicked and put the phone down.

Scan date 02/10 so I'm hoping not much longer to wait 🤞🏼 I'm guessing nobody has a scan date that's over a weekend so seeing people awarded with a scan date of 29/09 is only one day before?? If that makes sense. 😅

@DalesDoll1 have you not heard anything?

Amycroft · 02/02/2024 08:56

I got my back payment today has anyone else worked out they loose a week?? Have they taken the week for Christmas away or something?

Siobhangrace · 02/02/2024 09:01

So annoying that they don’t always send the text and can award without text
thank you keep me updated. 🤞

What day of the week was your scan date? x

Hayz0711 · 02/02/2024 09:02

My son has been in receipt of DLA for about 12 years now & I have never received a text about claims, so don’t lose hope if you don’t get one! X

I think it goes from the Wednesday after the scan date if that helps, I might be wrong but I think that is case x

That's not right you should of have more than that. My daughter got MRC LRM and I received 24 weeks of pay and the £10 Christmas bonus. Scan date 28/09.

Oh interesting! Does this mean they work through the weekend making decisions too do you think?

Siobhangrace · 02/02/2024 08:56

@DalesDoll1 have you not heard anything?

I've had a couple of holding letters and a couple of texts, and nothing since the last one, I think the last message was 8th Jan, so I know it's in the system. The waiting is really stressful isn't it?

Claudb98 · 02/02/2024 09:52

Not seen any COCs get awarded lately has anyone heard anything ?

Siobhangrace · 02/02/2024 09:55

@DalesDoll1 i had the texts the same dates has you, I rang Monday was in a que and then yesterday it was with a DM so just got to wait now and hope for the best!🙏🏽

Good luck to you, really hope you get the outcome your small person needs ❤️

Gracie1909 · 02/02/2024 09:57

@Amycroft hi i requested my forms in 5th October, I have been awarded the same back as u £2197.05. HRC and lrm it's exactly 17 weeks money from 5th October when I asked for my forms. So you should have more then me? X

Gracie1909 · 02/02/2024 09:59

@Amycroft if they have backdated to when you rang for the form it should be a few weeks on top of that that they owe you surely? As u requested your forms before me didn't you x

Amycroft · 02/02/2024 10:05

@FlutterByASD i disnt call for the papers I just printed them out myself so doesn't get backdated to when I called cause I didn't call up

Amycroft · 02/02/2024 10:07

@Gracie1909 no I never called I juat printed from website and sent off

Jumping85 · 02/02/2024 10:10

@Amycroft I work it out to be correct. It would go from the Wednesday after your scan date so 4th Oct. Week 1 would be 11th Oct, Week 17 would be 31st Jan x
