Ha you would think so! Would be so much easier if an online system was invented and we could deal with tracking like they do for passports for example.

Hello all 👋
hope you’re all well… congratulations on all the new awards.
I'm just wondering what the quick way to call
options are please? Is it 523? ☺️ xx

Im unsure on numbers but if you select new claims and then select over 20 weeks. They usually answer quicker. Hopefully helps 😬😂 x

Thank you! I just wanna see if they’ve received my extra information I sent, I didn’t send recorded this time x

i called. Spoke to some guy.., didn’t catch his name. Was the longest call in history!!! Took him forever just to get to security questions 😰
They haven’t received extra information I sent last Monday, il ring again end of the week to chase up.
my scan date is 26/1 and he said decision in May or possibly end of April x

Yeah sending not recorded takes longer to scan. But i think everyone will agree.....they talk out their butt depending on their mood 🤪. Your in for a long ride stuck with us here 😂 x

Would make life much easier!
well I wish you and everybody else waiting good luck!
Love how a great community has formed from this though! 🩵

Heyyy.....

I posted the forms 23/03....yet to revieve a letter or text to say they have them. Not sure if i should ring up and see or do i just wait and hope i recieve a letter soon to let me know. 1st time applying....long wait ahead. No diagnosis but reffered by school....been told 39 week wait. I sent his refferal report, school sheets which listed the extra support he needs, OT report and 3 seperate SALT reports 2 private 1 nhs and a copy of his prescriptions as hes still wet through the night and hes just turned 7. X

Thank you, here if you need anything. All the ladies are so lovely and always ready to help and give a word of support ❤️

When I sent extra and rang they said can take up to 3 weeks to receive and then filter through to get logged to your claim ☹️

I usually send recorded but we’re without a car arm, and I live in a village with only a Chinese takeaway 😂 so risked just sending. X

I usually send recorded but couldn’t get to a post office this time. I like being part of the community here, we’re all in it together 💪 x

@Tracy37x And what village may this be...sounds like my kinda place to only have a chinese take away 😂

😂😂😂 I don’t even like Chinese food 😩😩and village life is not for me. It was the first house offered to me after I left my ex due to DV. It’s ok when we have a car.., not great at all without! 😩xx

13.02 so got ages yet but have we had any January dates yet 📅

@Tracy37x I'm sorry to hear that hope you are okay. Id love to live in a village away from everythingbut mainly people 😂😂 xx

Not on here yet but seen a few January dates on facebook x

@GemzZ92 it took them 14 days from me posting the forms for them to be scanned and I received a letter a letter 6 weeks later with the scan date and reference number. But it took 2 weeks for their letter to arrive from when they wrote it.
ETA I posted 13/2 SD 27/2.

I am 14 Feb so always lurking on these posts - good luck to everyone going to hear soon and thanks for all the support and info! A lifeline XX

Thankyou! Ill give it a few more weeks x

No awards today 👀👀👀👀

@Fee89 have you missed my post today 😂👀

Hope everyone is okay??

Apart from the village which I'd kill to live in 😂 like fee haha! I know this feeling, I fled DV also just over 3months ago, going through bloodly hell!!!! Also no bloody car 😭 feel so bloody isolated and trapped!!

There was me thinking you forgot how to use this site 😂 xx

Hi my son was awarded in march. This months statement has been awarded carers element and disabled child element however it needs backdating to the start of my universal credit claim in feb. I have notified them of this and they have said it’s with a decision maker. Anyone know how long it takes? Thanks
