Hi SD 22/3 woke this morning to back pay in my account. Can any one suggest what this would be? It was 1357, she is 3. Just a thought I’d ask before I ring.😀, also I didn’t get a text confirming either so that was an unexpected Xx

Hey,

I just called it is mrc which is spot on for her, they said they only made the decision 3 days ago so. Also as it was back dated it was the old amount first then from the April the rate went up.

really hope you hear soon, 🤗

Oh gosh I have been looking for so long.... I called today and they have said a decision has been made today but they are unable to tell me whether its a yes or no because they have different teams dealing now, they can literally see yes or no.. any ideas how else I can go about finding out? thank you

Hopefully not too long 🙏🏻 call today and find out and say it's been 17 weeks.

I called yesterday morning and said not with DM and then at 4pm get a text we goy awarded.

Called now and got awarded MRC and LRM

Hi,
I've just received a back pay in my account today (says its from DLA). No letter or text to say awarded. I'm not too sure of the SD but I was told it went to the decision maker on 23/3. I had sent it on the 21/3 and originally called for the application on the 6/3 so assuming it's been backdated to this date. I've just rung and they said a decision was made on the 16/7 so it looks like 17 weeks is the current wait time despite being told last week up to 20 weeks wait. They cannot give anymore information over the phone so unsure of rates awarded. I hope this helps give some clarity on current wait times.
Good luck to everyone!

Just divide your amount by 17 weeks should be able to figure it out from there using the weekly rates

Hi, my SD was 22/3 so I called because everyone else seems to be being awarded! I've got MRC and LRM. My son was previously on HRC so I will be doing a MR because his needs are higher now if anything, definitely not less. I've not done one before so do you still receive the benefit whilst the MR is going through? Because obviously they take just as long as a new claim.
She said it was awarded yesterday and back pay would go in Tuesday if that helps anyone wanting ideas for timescales.

Was this a COC? How did they manage they bring his award down? Good luck with the MR. X
