What time were you awarded if you don’t mind me asking. I keep checking my phone every 2 minutes for a text

My son is 14 so I set up a Gov.uk one log in account, it shows proof of benifits ect. It showed up on there around 2pm today.

It also let me view his award letter.

I think you can set up account for any child over 12.

Good luck everyone. X

How do you do this?

Google. =
Gov.uk One log in.

It will tell you how to register in my sons name . I needed to scan his passport, the scan his face for verification.
Once account was set up I then just logged on and check benifit section.

I hope this helps. 😁

Hello, new to this I was sent my forms out February but as life got busy and things were happening with my young one (transitioning to secondary school, ehcp meetings, ISP meetings and the intense emotional deregulation) I didn’t send forms until 14/9/26 but I received two texts today 3 hours apart that they have received it it’s gonna be a long wait how do you all keep yourself from going mad

SD 16/07
NC
i phoned on Tuesday and they said it was still waiting in a queue for a decision maker to pick it up.

payment pending today so he’s been awarded, not sure what rate because I sent my form in late. I will have to wait for the letter to see what rate. Good luck everyone

So happy for you! Congratulations!

The people who have been awarded did any of you get a text message saying you had been awarded first?? Keeping checking my bank early hours of the morning to see any payments just incase I get payment and no text. They need an online tracking system lol xx

I only received the first text that said they had it

I used to the love the weekends and now I hate them🤣 no updates from anyone regarding recieving a decision so can't see the dates moving along. I'm sad and pathetic I know😫🤣

SparklyGreyOP · Today 11:25

I’ve kept my head busy sorting through all my clothes and 3 boys clothes and their toys etc that they no longer fit, wear or want. I’m now overwhelmed and overstimulated by the black bags cos I haven’t taken them to the tip
