I'm just about to send mine off. I only have a Freeport address? Is there a different address I should be sending it to?

Personally I would send by next day recorded delivery, from experience they seem to get scanned in quicker than the freepost delivery. I just used the same envelope and blanked out the stamp and paid for recorded

Parking. Scan date I think was 3/01. Something like that anyway. Have been watching the dates countdown of people parking.

You blank out the stamp mark on the top right.
Pay for next day delivery postage.

You use the freepost address but when sending it go into post office and ask to pay for recorded delivery. It can be costly, mine was £9. But that was filled with evidence, signed, photo and arrived next day at 6.20am. Or you can just send it freepost and wait to hear from dla that they have recieved it x

Yeah just as the other ladies have said, send it in the same envelope but black out the stamp mark with a black marker and pay at the post office for recorded delivery. It is costly but it does seem to get scanned in quicker. Also not sure if anyone else did this but i took a photo of every single page of the form and every piece of evidence i sent for future reference. Hope that helps. x

TooBusyGazingAtStarss · 06/04/2024 16:42

How do you know when its been scanned?

I sent it in the freepost envelope a couple of weeks ago. Didn't even think to pay for recorded 🤦‍♀️

Some get a letter with the scan date but some don’t or you can call up and ask when it was scanned on to system

@bobo1214 @Taffylass72 @Emmajm85 @kristie198

I’m literally praying for a miracle at this rate 😂 that backdate will surely come in handy for our trip to Birmingham for surgery 🥹x

26/01 🚘

Is there many January dates here now? I haven’t seen many January people yet.

Really hope you all get your decisions soon, the wait is just horrendous isn’t it x

Im not January but 9th February. I read all the threads but don’t comment much, I’m trying my hardest to not get all consumed by the process but I know give it until 15 weeks and I’ll be a maniac about it 😂

I also did that with my form. Great help for future like you say. Someone else told me to do that and I’m glad I did x

Haven't parked for a while so "Beep Beep!"

Scan date 12/02. I'll probably still be here on thread 45 😂

I also posted the form in the free post envelope but didn't get any text or letter to confirm that they received it. So I called them up after waiting 3 weeks for text or letter, that's when the lady said they received it and my scan date was 22/03

Well hello again haha! I know, was a bit miffed at the time but I'm a firm believer in things happen for a reason. So into next week feeling nervous but hopeful 💖

I have seen a few users say they have been cut off at the 2hr mark how frustrating!! Give them a ring at 9 on the dot Monday morning sending you positive vibes ✨️ 🙌 🙏 xx

Hi yes there around the same time as a new claim.. MR taking 8-11weeks

Tasha0429 · 06/04/2024 20:14

@Jadexxx92 Oh the wait is ridiculous isn't it, what does scan date mean?

Alilly1991 · 06/04/2024 21:03

Does anyone know how long MR’s are taking? I applied in July last year as a COC. Then declined Jan. MR sent off start of Feb 😂 it seems like such a long process to no doubt be declined and have to go to tribunal 😳
