shellie1986 · 18/08/2022 15:11

I've changed everything over with the uc and was told it will be referred to a decision maker to see if it can be backdated

Mrsm1987 · 19/08/2022 15:23

Received a letter this morning about mandatory reconsideration my son now has high rate care instead off middle which they awarded him I'm not sure if I get backdated the difference from when I made the original claim or just from when I put in for them to look at the claim again but I'm glad for him

So universal credits have decided to back date my claim from the 22nd April but there was no info regarding payments or anything .

Mrsm1987 · 24/08/2022 09:58

Most people on hear get uc I assume but anyone on tax credits? Is they a reason why they only backdate a month from when you ring and tell them your receiving dla even if it's took months

I’ve been waiting 14 weeks now just called and she said there’s currently a 17 week wait 😞

Jadron1984 · 24/08/2022 12:25

Is that for DLA?

Forms received and scanned in June 14th, was originally told 9 weeks. then 11.5 weeks (but expected a lot longer)

Geordiemam33 · 24/08/2022 22:14

My scan date was 24th may got a decision Monday. Rang tax credits and they back date from the day I rang for form the 29th April. And payment due Friday. Hope that helps

Jadron1984 · 25/08/2022 09:46

Ahhh okay that does add up, we called this morning to check and they said they're up to the 29th May so should be another 2 weeks or so.

Thanks!

Hiya,
has anyone had a decision from June scan date yet? Thankyou X

shellie1986 · 30/08/2022 20:38

Has anyone had back payments from universal credits . Mine went to a decision maker and was accepted on special circumstances and backdated from 22nd April but I've received no back payments . This was done and accepted on 23rd August x

Lynseyb91 · 31/08/2022 13:13

@Jadron1984 hiya have you had a decision yet x

Jadron1984 · 31/08/2022 13:28

@Lynseyb91 nothing yet unfortunately :( I think should be another week and a bit if the person we spoke to was correct with timings

Lynseyb91 · 31/08/2022 13:33

I wonder if each CM gets so many on their desk as in one the other chats a few from ending of May had rang up and had a decision. Mine scan wasn’t until the 15th June, they told me last week it’s taking upto 14 weeks I’m gonna ring again later to see what updates they have x

Jadron1984 · 31/08/2022 14:23

Possibly, last time I called it was 12.5 weeks but I'm not holding out much hope for it being that date. I'm 11 weeks and a day currently

I would be interested to know what date they're working to currently if you do call :)

Lynseyb91 · 31/08/2022 15:01

What was your scan date? Mines 11 weeks exactly today but mine is June and not may surely yours is more? Or are you not including weekend x

Lynseyb91 · 31/08/2022 15:02

@Jadron1984 aw just saw your the day behind me. Il ring shortly and update u x

Dann2409 · 31/08/2022 20:59

Dann2409 · 31/08/2022 21:02

Lynseyb91 · 31/08/2022 22:55

@Dann2409 oh I didn’t get chance to call, thankyou for your update X

Lynseyb91 · 01/09/2022 11:32

Hiya
I've called today and they have told me that they are working with 9th of June now and that I should have a decision next week, they said if accepted probs see money before the letter a lot are due to post issues. He also said I’m not down for texts so I’m going to just ring in a weeks time. X
