[Emma2345]

New thread as this 1 is nearing the end now

Thank you

Here goes to another week hopefully it’s over soon x

17 weeks today - will be calling at 9am. Not feeling very hopeful, fully expect it to be in that never ending holding pile.

Will update the thread after tho.

Scan date 30/10

@bonz2023 no I can’t either think might have to phone 😂😂

It’s been more that 2 weeks I notify uc about my award..still no message or back pay and they keep saying no time scale.pls how long did it take uc to verify disabled/carers element and back pay.I am soo stressed right now

Scan date 27/10 when with a DM on 22/2 currently on hold to see if there's an update..pray for me😂

Same scan date as me. I’m on hold right now for an update.

Good luck!

hi guys just an update, just called i cannot believe i got through in 3 minutes. still in a queue and waiting to be sent to a DM , he said it should be this week , once its with a DM it could take a further 2 weeks. He did ask if id like him to put a note on the system for the DM to text when a decision has been made. I thought that this was standard but apparently not.

scan date 3/11

hopefully not too long now

The hold music is dreadful 😂

@Mummybabies2 it's been nearly a month since I updated UC. No back pay yet, they are supposed to be ringing me before 6pm. Ridiculous isn't it x

Keep me posted on how you get on and ill do the same 🤞

Mines still with a DM atm, she said its noted to send me a text but they don't text with an outcome if you're successful or not...which I know is a massive lie😂 however she was lovely so hopefully this week I'll hear something 🤷🏼‍♀️

Scan date 24th October
decision made last Thursday- no call or text I just rang this morning and back pay is due in tomorrow! 18 week wait we had hope this helps

Hi I updated UC on the 2nd of Feb, was verified on the 14th and confirmed also on the same date that they would backdate all to June 2023. Nothing more since then, been advised the same no timeframe and they are calculating back pay? they have to go back through each individual month to see what you have been paid and then update all of the individual monthly statements too x

@mummyof3girlsx @XxNatty1xX he's been awarded middle rate care on Friday thank god its over with and they paid back pay from 26th October so missed out on a month because forms were late but now all done yay hope u hear news soon too xx

Also… do we just put on UC Change of circumstance that awarded dla and care for a child 35 hours a week or more?
do I need to do anything else? Bet I’m in for a long wait with them now the dla wait is finally over lol

@Gracie1909 i have seen some people say it took 3 days for uc to verify and one week to get backdated payment.the system is ridiculous x

Just been awarded! Actually was awarded on the 23rd Feb (no text from DM to let me know).

Scan date 30/10.

Good luck to all those waiting

Just spoke to someone. Scan date 01/11 it's with a decision maker and could take up to 10 working days for a decision

Thanks for the update, keeping everything crossed for you ❤️

I’ve just managed to get through.

My Child has been awarded high rate care, I can’t believe it. I really thought we would have a fight on our hands due to his age as he is only 2 and a half but non verbal and on the ASD pathway but no formal diagnosis yet.

For anybody concerned about not sending enough evidence.

The only evidence I sent was a supporting statement written by myself, the nursery Senco filled in the part about someone who knows your child and I had a report from an ASD specialist arranged for by the nursery.

Good luck to you all waiting for your decisions. Xx

Parking .. scan date 1/11
1 letter
1 text 12/2

Good luck everyone
Really hoping this is my last thread 🙏 🤞

@RoseScroller this gives me so much hope my little one is 2 ,, 3 in march and we’re going down asd pathway can I ask what evidence you sent in x

06/11 - just rang, 40 minutes on hold but spoke to a lovely guy who said I'm currently in a holding pile and its taking roughly 16 weeks to get to a case manager so I should be going to a case manager this week sometime and then it depends on the case manager as to how long it will take to make a decision so I'm hoping no more than 2 more weeks.

Parking
Scan date 18/12

This thread has been soo helpful with wait times however!
