Same happened to me. I was overpaid one month as they said I had no earnings for that month. My employer has paid my wage for 5 years and reported to HMRC for me so why would they stop all of a sudden. I think the issue is with them. I was told to speak to my employer about to sort it out. They don’t know what they’re doing half the time.

definitely there problem isn’t it, my husbands work have been so confused, they said they’ve done everything as normal so not sure what else they could do.
cant be coincidence that the dla comes though, I make a change or circumstances and my next payment is all messed up.
can I ask how you resolved it if you did?
They eventually got back to me late today and asked me to ask my husband to contact them but they said it probably won’t be sorted as my payment is due tomorrow, so now next months payment will be incorrect. I need to sit down tonight and try and calculate what I think we should be due then I can put the extra away for the month after. Pain they are. I like to be organised with our finances and this hasn’t helped.

My wage is the same every month but I have to report my earnings myself now each month. But I haven’t had the DLA part added to my payment yet as my little
boy has only just been awarded years so I’m sure that will get messed up when they try and sort that 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sorry I meant yesterday not years.

I did my carers allowance straight after aswell, I just put a note on my journal saying I’ve just applied for carers allowance and they replied asking to inform them when I hear back from them, when I confirmed I was now getting CA they sorted out my uc the day after

Thank you:) I’ve just updated them on my journal and let them know I’ve applied for CA, thank you again xx

Spoke to a lovely man who told me that my daughter has been awarded LRM and MRC until January 2026. Shes 13 now. Im so happy, hopefully this is what is needed to help her. Scan date 5/2 Feb.

OriaB · 24/05/2024 16:25

I always looked out for these so here goes.. scan date 14/02 and called today to find out that my boy has been awarded Hrc and Lrm. I just can't get over it.. it means I can get him the help he so desperately needs ❤️ Good luck to everybody waiting. I'm still shaking!

Oh no… when did you first ask them?? Have you sent them a photo of your award letter?

I asked them Thursday they got back to me yesterday. Told me go into report a change again and check if the names spelt right but I hadn’t put a hyphen in he’s name so I’m hoping that’s what’s causing it. Do you have to send proof of award in

Ahhh I see. I did the change on Thursday and they said they can’t tell me how long it will take. I asked if I needed to send the letter when I get it and they said no. But I’ve seen some on here who have been asked to send it 🙈

I called one Wednesday last week, it would have been scanned on the day before but they told me to wait another week too, I would call to check it should be on there by now. I can’t believe it’s taken so long to be scanned on
