[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.

Thank you . Its been a very long wait . I think 16 weeks now . Starting to lose all hope

Does anybody know if renewal is taking 12 weeks too?

My sister did her renewal 4 weeks ago for her little girl and she still hasent receive notification that its even been received yet x

Hi guys.
Got refused DLA the first time. Asked for an MR and am waiting for the outcome. So worried they are going to turn her down again xx

i don’t have any hope that I will receive anything.. can’t believe how stressful the process actually is and mines only been 6 weeks xx

Nicky my boy got accepted middle rate but the amount off care he needs I asked for a Mandatory reconsideration they said it will be looked at within a month its a month tomorrow now I'm worried I may get refused all together how long ago is it you applied

I'm not holding my breathe either if I'm honest 16 weeks of pure stress

@Mrsm1987 got awarded today. High rate care and low rate mobility. After getting refused in June. I first applied in march. Xx

@shellie1986 mine took 22 weeks all in all. But so worth it as the outcome is amazing so pleased for my daughter this will help her tremendously xx

Anyone know how long it takes when you recieve a letter saying that claims are taking longer and they have not forgotten about your claim.. its been 9 weeks since they received my claim

Nikki brilliant news so you mandatory reconsideration took more than a month?

@Mrsm1987 5 weeks Hun XXX

thts not to bad crazy how they can refuse you then award high rate just goes to show stand your ground

@Mrsm1987 yes definitely Hun. I want to ring them again and make sure it wasn't a dream lol xx

Mines going to the desicion maker this week apparently so god k ow how long il have to wait for an outcome x

Hi.
Not same topic but wondering please if anyone had been on tax credits and then changed over to Universal Credit.

I applied for UC yesterday and am aware my tax credits will end as will my housing benefit however I am wondering if I will still receive next week's payment and would it be classed as an over payment when my UC claim comes through?

Worried as I work part time and don't get paid till 24th so wondering if I will still get some payments or will they stop altogether?

Thank you.

Got awarded on Thursday but still waiting for backdate. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes them xx

I’m still waiting on my uc backdate🙄

Niki I'm sure mine was in the bank within 5 working days

@Mrsm1987 blimey suppose my UC backdate will be another 12 weeks xx

DLA backdate took 3 days guys xx

My claim started from 22nd April. Received the forms on 19th May. Finally got a decision yesterday , my sons been awarded high care component and low mobility component. It's been a nail biting time but this is gonna help my son tremendously

@shellie1986 how did they inform you of their decision? My claim is also stamped date 19th May and I called last week but still not heard anything. I will be so sad for my daughter if it’s a no. I have so many things that I want to buy her that will improve her day to day life 😓

I phoned them on the Monday and they told me it was going to the decision maker that week . I phoned the next Monday for an update and they told me the rates and back pay and when il be paid **

Thank you, that’s helpful! Sounds like if I phone them at this point they’ll be able to tell me more
