[Margot82x]

New thread xxx

Scan date 20/10 rung again to see if a decision and nope nothing. She told me 20 weeks so won't b till March. However the person last week told me its come down to 16 weeks, so I honestly don't no who be believe. This whole thing is so stressful 🥹

@Sunflower1808 wow really ,,, i honeslrg didn’t think mine would be witn how long you’ve been waiting was shocked when she told me it was as it’s only taken a day really they only received it yesterday 🤣🤣😂took the time to then ask how long roughly for a decision everyone getting told different things but I’ve noticed when ringing up that it doesn’t say it’s taking 20 weeks anymore dunno if anyone else has noticed that xx

@Emma2345 im baffled 🤣🤣 im calling again 🤣🤣 x just tryed but just was ringing didnt even go to options lol so ill try in a bit 🙈🤣x
Tryed again its working now
they have changed the options since friday 🤣🤣🤣 not 1 6 3 now 🙈🙈x

@Sunflower1808 yeah it took me about an hour to get thru I would ring first thing in morning to find out what’s going on and why it’s still not on system you’d think it was so much hastle to scan a simple piece of evidence to a system never mind 4 weeks later and it still not be on xx

@Emma2345 im listening to the beautiful hold music 🎶 now so gonna sit it out while i have a spare 2 hours , i shall let you know when i and if i get through 🤣🤣x

15/10 I know a few others have been awarded with earlier scan dates, I think it's just pot luck on who you get as a DM and how quick they are with making a decision 😕

@LCB261 same scan date as me, I rang yesterday and told was with dm decision by end of week and if I haven’t heard anything or received a letter in 14 days to ring back, I’m baffled by how many people are being told different things, did they say if it was with a dm at all??x

She said its with a DM but said it doesn't make a difference. When the person last week said its with a DM and I'll have a decision in a few days.

@Emma2345 I noticed this today aswell! And mentioned it to the lady when she said 20 weeks and she basically said I was lying! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

@Sunflower1808 🤞for you & yes please do dean must of liked the sound of my name to have put it straight on the system🤣🤣 x

Hi all. I have been awarded today hrc and lrm mobility for my lo. Scan date 25/10. They seem to be getting through October dates alot quicker now. Good luck to everyone and I hope your lo's get the much needed support their entitled to xx

@Georgia27888 amazing news! Did you get a text xx

A lovely lady called me to ask me some more questions about night time care and sent me a text literally 5 minutes later. I called up to see what rate she was awarded and the man told me. Xx

This is what puts me off calling, from peoples posts they are being awarded at 16 weeks which means I should hear next week sometime

but then if I call and they tell me it's still in a pile, it's waiting for something blah blah it's going to be end of March or mid April I think my head will fall off 😂😂😂

@Emma2345 had a lovely man answer, its still not on there he is escalating it and going to call me back Thursday as he said it can take a couple of days to get a reply and he has marked it as urgent as apparently mine is with a dm already 😳🙈x whats the betting this is now going to hold me up lol bloody dean 🤣🤣x

@bonz2023 exactly I think they just say what Ever they want to say lol

Parking scan date 07/11

Hi all,
I was awarded DLA for my 2nd daughter & I received her back pay on 5/2/24. I updated UC & have written on my journal the same day outlining when I’ve been awarded from and asked about my disabled child element being back dated. I’ve not heard anything at all. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to respond? Also does anyone know, if I am awarded back pay for disabled child element, will my carers allowance back pay be deducted? (I’m already my eldest daughters carer and it’s a recent claim for carers allowance for the NI contributions)
thank you in advance xx

@Sunflower1808 ahh made up it’s with a DM dying to phone to see if mine is but All I get it’s in that lovely holding pile ring back in March 😂😂

@LCB261 yeah it definitely doesn’t say 20 weeks anymore when ringing up I noticed yesterday when I rang but they cute me off and today and the lady I spoke to said 16 weeks to me before it goes to Dm / CM I think they tell us what we want to hear tho hope u hear something soon

@Sunflower1808 hopefully they have it on system to review it all before DM makes a decision n it doesn’t hold it up to long let me no how you get on x

Any one else scan date around 25/10
