Did he say how long it will be xx

He said anything from 1-3 weeks, but honestly I wouldn’t trust a word he said!

1-3 weeks would make me 16-18 weeks xxx

@Lolly966 are you in here…
I just called because I couldn’t help myself. Had a slow man named David.
he said scan date is 20/11 that only 11 weeks 🤣🤣 he didn’t check anything at all only counted 3 times on his paper calendar that I could hear him flicking through after I corrected him and said 15 weeks he said oh yeh my coffee stuck a month together. Officially give up now! 😂😂

This made me literally laugh out loud!! 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

bonz2023 · 05/03/2024 13:58

Right I know it doesn't matter and I should just be happy I've been awarded but she told
Me my back pay today and it's 19 weeks, backdated until 19th October so my back pay from then is to 29th Feb, so will my next payment be 4 weeks from 29th?

I know this is trivial when people are still waiting for I like knowing 😂😂

It's normally paid on a Tuesday or Wednesday so the next payment should be around the 26th/27th March

Dukseysnana · 05/03/2024 17:36

My scan date 14/11 got through after being cut off 4 times to be told I'm in a holding queue if this helps anyone

Shelly1981 · 05/03/2024 17:48

Parking again.. scan date 1/12 😀

Lu2024 · 05/03/2024 17:48

Hi everyone, I’m new to this but been reading for a couple of weeks.
scan date is 29/11.
I sent extra info in on Thursday and it was scanned yesterday. I called this afternoon (after being cut off 3 times) and was told it’s now with a decision maker.
How long are people usually waiting for a decision after being told it’s with a DM? X

And is there no order to processing claims?because I’m seeing others with much earlier dates than mine who are still not with a DM. Do they lie that it’s being reviewed by a DM when it’s not? I’m so confused with this whole system 🤦🏼‍♀️
