@Emma2345 yes il do that as don't want them change care componant rate again after I've just won the MR for that and also I still haven't sorted UC out they taking piss lol x

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought hun you don’t want them lowering your care award or something just do the mobility side ,, & NOOO!! You’ve got to be joking I thought you well would of heard back by now I’d get straight back on to that journal and ask for a case manager to contact you that is a piss take xx

@sayasand I would give them a ring, it wont hurt to ask them as surely you should be given priority because of the circumstances, your child basically cant go to nursery without the dla being sorted.

Thanks for the reply 🙏🏻 I was feeling abit cheeky because I feel like I should just wait like everyone else. I guess all they can say is no. I'll give them a call x

ArtfulJoker · 12/06/2024 11:18

Accbabymom1994 · 12/06/2024 11:20

Sarahdestiny · 12/06/2024 11:21

I was told yesterday that my application which was 22/02 is only going to a decision maker on Friday 😞 just didn’t want you to get your hopes up like mine have been this week!

Sometimes they tell you and people get rewarded , so don't feel unhopeful. Tbh I'm looking at July i know won't be b4 that . I have a lot of stuff I'm waiting for and trying to be patient, I am waiting for my band to change for council housing sent all evidence in Jan , I'm waiting for DLA COC scan date 4/03, I'm waiting for a driving test date so I can pass and be more independent and take my children everywhere needed , we have a holiday coming up in July I need to call special assistance. Moral of the story , being patient is hard 😂 . And don't worry , definitely this month is your month xxx

CeePee23 · 12/06/2024 11:31

@Accbabymom1994

oh wow, that’s a lot! I think I could learn something about patience from you!

I think I just need to try and put it out of my mind until July now, as hard as it is xx

Strawbsss · 12/06/2024 11:34

Just called about my child's renewal.
Sent 22/02/24 due to end 26/06/24.
Marked as priority on Monday... decision made yesterday to keep the same rates until 2028.

Thank god that one's over!

Other child's new claim is 'still in a holding que' despite being told it was with a decision maker days ago.... scan date 26/02/2024.

Rang the 'fast way' for renewal answer (521).
The lady said she couldn't see the info besides a decision had been made and put me through to someone else.

They told me the award and end date. X

Hi ✨️ just called them. And used 512 option so straight to. After all the security questions lady is asking what's the reason of my call 🤦🏻‍♀️ She couldn't see any updates, not even the brief history of my calls or the reason of such a delay, so I needed briefly explain it myself. She then said she can transfer me to main department. Was on hold for a bit and the guy came back with information that it's with the decision maker so fingers crossed any time soon. E mail has been sent on 4th of June to chase this case up... so, pretty much similar outcome I have had before and unfortunately nothing happens. BUT one thing gives a bit hope without me asking he said Can I call them back on Friday as if decision will be done they will let me know by phone call 📞

Does anyone know if a call handler asking for bank details means claim is nearly done, Or is it just one of the security questions and im building my hopes up for nothing 😂
