Hi all,
Just following on from the previous thread - apologies if anyone else has already started one.
Sent our renewal claim in, scan date middle of May.
Phoned on Thursday and was told that our claim had been renewed on 18 August, awarded the same as previous - HRC and LRM. Such a relief for it to be all sorted out.

This thread is so useful. First time application and a scan date of 16/09 so it looks like we might be waiting a bit longer. They have requested and returned DS’s birth certificate within that time.

They received my application 9th August and I haven't heard anything yet x

Happymum788 · 09/11/2022 14:44

Is it different for people in Scotland? I'm still waiting got a case manager from July 27th

PeopleWillAlwaysNeedPlates · 11/11/2022 22:02

Well, I had a letter today apologising for the delay in their decision, but no further info. Has anyone with a September stamp heard anything?

Hill1991 · 15/11/2022 09:37

My ds stamped the 11th aug and it's currently with the case manager and waiting for a decision.

Hi does anyone know how long it takes UC decision maker to award the back dating please

chan7 · 28/11/2022 14:35

I've phoned today and they've said they've sent a letter out. Do you normally get a text first if you've been awarded.

Just seen your previous post it could be the fact your in Scotland I'm in England so they might have a different protocol

PeopleWillAlwaysNeedPlates · 05/12/2022 11:57

Wondering if anyone with a September stamp has heard anything?
