Ilovechocolatetoomuch · 07/07/2022 11:33

my Ds application was scanned 6/5 so hopefully not too much longer although I have seen some people waiting up to 12 weeks.

Crazybrood · 07/07/2022 13:01

Scan date 12/5

had the sorry it’s delayed letter now it’s 8 weeks. I know it’s going to be a few more weeks and it’s pointless phoning for an update but how do I stop myself phoning up? 😂

kinzzzz · 07/07/2022 20:04

kinzzzz · 07/07/2022 20:05

Fab 🙄 im 14th im nearly 4 weeks

Mamto2boys · 08/07/2022 08:02

I found you guys again! Finally! So as anyone who can remember I was awarded hrc and lrm, I however I've informed UC all throughout the process, now it's come down to rhe back dating I'm hearing nothing, they've added carers element and the disability element as well as got rid of rhe bedroom tax in my UC as its showing up for my next payment statement on 14th but nothing at all no mention of back date even through I've requested it. What do I do?

Crazybrood · 08/07/2022 09:08

i caved and rang! Scan date 12/5, they said it’s taking around 10 weeks at the min and should have a decision towards end of this month

FightingForMyBoy · 08/07/2022 09:41

@Crazybrood my sons is the 12th of May as well, had the sorry we have not made a decision letter a few days ago, I’m glad u were brave enough to phone as I’m not haha

Crazybrood · 08/07/2022 10:00

@FightingForMyBoy haha I had the letter a few days ago and was debating to ring but I can’t hold my own piss 😂 I’m so impatient. I’m guessing it’s about 10 weeks before it goes to a decision maker then a few days from that

Polly421 · 08/07/2022 10:28

@Mamto2boys the backdated amount sometimes can take longer, we waited 4 weeks for our daughter to be backdated back in December from when it went to a case manager. But we only waited 2 week for our sons in May. As long as it been sent to a case manager to backdate I wouldn’t worry. Even to put your mind at peace write a journal message asking for update regarding backdate amount.

Bournecrazy · 08/07/2022 10:34

@FightingForMyBoy im 10/5 so as soon as I hear anything I'll let you know

FightingForMyBoy · 08/07/2022 10:43

@Crazybrood haha, I read on the Facebook group earlier how someone had forgot that they had sent the forms off until the money magically appeared in their account wtf!! @Bournecrazy yep I like that plan 😀

Bournecrazy · 08/07/2022 10:49

I've been trying to forget it too as I knew it was a long wait and I didn't want to get ahead of myself incase it didn't get accepted

dawny30xx · 08/07/2022 11:03

Hi

me again!! I’ve phoned this morning change off circumstances scan date 1st March! Son was middle care they have kept him the same even though his night needs are massively different and awarded low rate motability! I was awarded yesterday, not sure if I should so a MR has anyone else had this?

thanks dawn :-)

GrapePearPea · 08/07/2022 11:56

How long after sending the form did you get a letter acknowledgment? Been a week so far and nothing. I sent mine in 2 days before the deadline so I’m stressing it’s going to have been scanned after it! So if dd is awarded she won’t get backdated to when we phoned for the form!

kinzzzz · 08/07/2022 11:56

Well i bit the bullet and called the guy has told me within the next couple of working days i should get a decision so heres hoping 🤞🤞 this is for MR not initial claim scan date 14th june🙆‍♀️

kinzzzz · 08/07/2022 12:00
