Thanks @bell27x this gives me hope we're nearly there! Do you plan on ringing again to chase up? I haven't rang since the beginning to check they'd received it.

Randomteddy · 31/01/2024 07:05

Omg!
I’ve got a pending payment!
I’ve looked 4 times to be sure - I’m in shock.
No award text or letter- just pending money

I will probably ring again next Tuesday if not heard anything, only day I have off and time to

I've woken up to a payment which works out exactly as MRC and LRM (plus the £10 Christmas bonus) x 23 weeks. I'm absolutely over the moon for my daughter.

Best of luck to anyone ringing today. Fingers crossed for the awards your children all deserve.

Scan date 29/9

Oh blimey

My scan date was 3/1/24 and I was starting to get frustrated but this has just put it into perspective.
Guess it will be a long waiting game.

Been watching this thread for months! I sent off 2 claims - both scanned 28th Sep. I called on Monday to be told my daughter has been awarded HRC LRM, I nearly hit the floor! Payment had been released on Monday, can anyone advise roughly how long it took to go in the bank please? I see people saying they can see pending payments - have no idea how to look for this! Now just to wait for my son, which they said will be another 4 weeks which makes no sense given they both had the same scan date!

Payment typically takes 3 working days so I'd imagine your money should be in your bank account tomorrow.

Some banks have the ability to show pending payments online. Mine doesn't. I'm with TSB.

Congrats and best of luck with your other claim.

Hopefully I have an answer by the end of the day, even if it's a decline atleast I'll know where I stand.

Scan date 19/10 for COC.
I have more evidence to send in, seems I’m still a way off, so shall I send evidence registered post or just send it to the free post address? Thanks x

These daily cost of living payments are giving me heart palpitations!! So wanted it to be the decision for my little girl 🫣 13/10 and just so anxious!!

What are these cost of living payment texts? I haven't had one but we only get child benefit so maybe that's why?

oscarsmommy · 31/01/2024 08:40

Thank you. Anxiously a/w payment as i haven't been able to replace furniture in her room as it just gets destroyed, but her dla will help with this. She's excited to get her new bedroom 🩷

Congratulations on everyone’s awards! 26/09 and still waiting nervously! Anyone else still from September waiting? I rang on Monday to be told waiting in the holding line for DM. The wait is making me not be able to function! Praying after fighting for nearly 10 years my boy gets what he deserves!

Mummybabies2 · 31/01/2024 08:52

Always send registered post signed for for piece of mind if you take the envelope dla provide they knock it off the cost of delivery my post office does that anyway
