No they answered after about 40 minutes. Got Kim, I'm sure I've heard her name mentioned before. After being told Friday Monday and Tuesday it's with a DM Kim told me today it's in a holding pile. Bit frustrated but it is what it is. I've come up to do the horses to keep me busy lol how did you get on this morning? Sorry if you've already updated on here I've not gone through the posts yet

Wow that's a joke. Did you ask the other call handler when it went to DM? She told me today its with DM I asked when ut went she said the 10th xx

Kirstygingee · 10/04/2024 11:05

Scan date 19/12. Just got off phone it's with decision maker but no notes on system so she said that means it hasn't been looked at yet and to give it a week before calling back because they're allocated loads at the same time.

You could be waiting weeks, depends how quickly the work coach gets back to you. You could always ring just to make them aware that you have put somthing on your journal x

mummytooneboy1 · 10/04/2024 11:08

Ok, I did call them and they said it hasn’t been verified yet. They also said since it hasn’t been verified yet that the disabled child element wont be added to this month’s statement 😳 so I have to wait until the next assessment period.

I messaged on my journal yesterday and they replied in the afternoon saying it will be in my bank 11/4/24

Leopardprintleelan · 10/04/2024 11:18

@Fee89 @kristie198 @Jadexxx92 so am I doing the right thing not taking what she said as gospel? No I didn't ask what date yl the other 3 days I wish I had now! Although I'm sure if I'd have quoted that to Kim she wouldn't have been pleased! Anywho onwards and upwards it's not a decline she did say no decision made yet so will run with that for now!! Thank you ladies, can't begin to tell you how supported I feel being in this group heart 💖

That was quick. Who did you message? Your work coach or the payment team?

Anxiouslywaitingmum · 10/04/2024 11:37

Scan date 8/1
Ok, so I caved in and called. Got Veronica. She said mine was sent to a DM on 8/4 and I should hear something by the 22/4.
I asked for a text and she said they don't usually send them it's usually a letter stating 'why they came to that decision with the claim' I didn't like how she worded it like that🤣 but she said no decision has been made.
Ohhh I feel sick 🤢

Just the work coach I messaged in the morning then in the afternoon I had a reply saying theyve updated my statements and told me my back payment and told me when it will go in I was pleasantly surprised at how quick it was done xx

Kirstygingee · 10/04/2024 11:46

How long does it take from being with a decision maker? Found out mines with one but not looked at yet. Getting nervous!
