STEPH691 · 06/03/2024 10:05

I’ve just phoned and got straight through and was told a completely different thing! Scan date 10/11 but I sent further evidence later. At first she said did you send further evidence around Christmas? I said no I sent it end of Nov. She said yes we’ve got it. I asked if I’m still in a holding pile and she said we’re still doing October claims and yours is a December claim. I said I thought my scan date was 10/11 and last week I was told I was in ‘1st holding pile’ and she said I don’t know why you was told that or how they know but let me check. Yes your further evidence was scanned in 4/12 so you’ve got another 6-8 weeks to find out!?!?

Does that mean if you send extra evidence you get bumped back down? I'm nearly at the top [5/12] and got my sons autism diagnosis through now worrying about sending extra evidence!!!

ThemysteriousH · 06/03/2024 10:10

@Muvva1981 yes ring! Good luck!

@KaylaOG thank you 🩷

@Mommyof4children same award and day apart of scan date, mini celebration happening at no more phone calls 🤣

I find it weird how literally 2 days ago they said it was still in the pile and not gone to a CM/DM and to wait until April 🤔

I have no idea!?! I don’t think I’ve seen that before but the lady was rude and grumpy and tbh didn’t sound like she knew what she was talking about and barely asked any security questions?

STEPH691 · 06/03/2024 10:12

@Mothertothreeboys good luck hun 🤞🤞xx

Busylittlebebe · 06/03/2024 10:16

I’m awaiting a decision any day now scan date 10/11. My daughter suffers with learning difficulties, ptsd and things, we are awaiting adhd & autism referrals. She’s 15 and was screened at school yesterday for dyslexia and failed all the tests. Should I ring up and say that them test results are in or should I just not bother. I don’t think it will make much difference but it’s also an excuse to ring.

kristie198 · 06/03/2024 10:18

So I finally got through she said there still working on October claims

1slamkh · 06/03/2024 09:12

I rang in today & it’s FINALLY WITH A CASE MANAGER; WOOP WOOP.
SCAN DATE 01/12/2023!!!

@1slamkh oo that’s great news! Is it COC or first claim if you don’t mind me asking? My scan date is 4/12 for COC

Mommyof4children · 06/03/2024 10:20

I’m on hold now fingers crossed 🤞 I could not wait until tomorrow 😂 congratulations 🎉

First claim

@Sloulou20 i don’t think it does. I sent extra evidence in Feb and they said it’ll still go by our scan date of 13/11

Sally120 · 06/03/2024 10:32

3/11 no text but checked my bank and have a payment of £1167 to come in tomorrow- shocked as expected a decline! Will wait for the letter to find out how long it’s for. I think my son has been given middle rate- can anyone confirm if this sounds right? X

Sloulou20 · 06/03/2024 10:33

1slamkh · 06/03/2024 10:31

First claim

That's very random isn't it if they are doing November claims!
