[Nicky80catri]

Hi everyone,
Anyone waiting for a decision for march guys .. I am so stressed about the outcome it would mean a great deal to my DD to get this award.

Well done 1977s Im well happy for u such a relief for u

I'm a bit worried now as when I rung up I said that the school were going to get.my son tested for autism again and put an ehcp in place I hope that doesn't hold.up my claim as its school holidays soon and the school won't have it sorted by then and I can't wait till they go back

Thankyou Debspurs it’s only taken 15 weeks and yes a big relief

Debspurs just keep phoning I’ve been on the phone every day , it shouldn’t effect decisions as I’ve add things to my claim fingers crossed for you all

🤪😝😜😜1977 so happy for you its a massive relief for me cant imagine how your feeling

Omg I’m doing a change of circumstance as if it’s a 20 week wait 😳

Oh myyyyy that’s amazing news I am so so happy for you! I became really invested lol was started to feel so angry for you!! Now try and put your feet up and relax xx

Thankyou everyone I’m really happy 😊it’s going to help me and my daughter, hopefully payment won’t be long , just waiting to see if universal credit payment changes now aswell x

Congratulations I seen you was waiting for a long time! Also if you do your change of circumstances on universal credit you’ll get the high disability pay for a child on it, you can also get the carers element on it and it should be added to your next payment, also make sure you put in your journal you would like it backdated to when your daughters claim would of started then it will go to the decision maker for universal credit who will then issue the back pay, but that may take a couple of weeks aswell.

I don’t know if anyone else is on universal credit but apparently from the 14th July to the end of July if you qualify the first cost of living payment will be made 😊😊

Thankyou kc I will make sure I check I’ve done it right

I only know this from another group, just after you’ve done all the changes just go in the journal and say you would like it backdated to the date of your daughters award and you’ll get a nice back pay from them also x

Just had message on universal credit journal they’ve confirmed my daughter is getting high rate DLA and it’s been passed to DM to get money backdated , good day after all

how brilliant! Once your daughters better she will be able to have a well deserved treat and yourself! Wish you all the best x

I'm not on universal credit but might move iver to it!

I've rung today it's been with a decision maker for 4 weeks so they finally looked into it and it's been sat in a pile of a decision maker who's been on leave for a few weeks now. They are transferring the case over to another dm so I'm probably gonna be waiting weeks again and I'm already at nearly 14 weeks 😭 mines 8th April

MummyofPPH keep phoning everyday , I only got my decision today and been waiting 15 weeks day you need it looked into asap

@1977 anyone receiving a disability benefit. Will at some point in September receive £150 cost of living payment. As long as they qualified for benefit on 25th of May.

@1977s sorry didn’t tag you right on my post above.

Is that payment per house or per person 🤔 I know someone said in here that both her children have dla

Sorry I mean per person as in if 2 people in that gouse get dla will they both get 150 or is it just 150 per household

I have one daughter who gets DLA and a son who gets the Scottish child disability and was told it’s per claim not house.

Polly this nice go know

It’s been on the news today that the cost of living payments will start from July on the universal credit it says payments start after 14th July so is £150 an extra payment for child / adults aswell , hope more of you hear some news soon re DLA mine was awarded Tuesday only found out yesterday so hopefully will get payment before the weekend

@1977s yes this is an additonal payment for people on a disability benefit. Will be paid later in year around September it’s says.
