Hi Everyone

I have been a silent watcher of this thread for a while. My sons scan date is 21/05 although requested the forms end of march. The anxiety of waiting is just so horrific. I’m now on week 15 of the wait.
anyone else with a similar scan date??

it’s just such a lengthy process isn’t it, I applied for pip for my daughter at the same time, and she got a decision probably within 4-5 weeks, so the time frame difference is crazy.

good luck to everyone

Hi Vicclou,

My scan date is 20/05.

Fingers crossed we don't have much longer to wait.

I can’t find it anywhere!
I think I sent the application in March but don’t know what date they scanned it. Annoying that I can’t find it anywhere!!

I'm impressed that you've been so chilled about the wait that you've no idea!

Not sure if it’s being chilled or living in a state of total chaos! 🤣😭

NoWordForFluffy · 03/09/2024 06:02

Well...no money appeared overnight. 😩 Slept badly after checking, worrying about it. Sigh.

Cassiex · 03/09/2024 08:34

I forgot to ask yesterday 🫣 if my daughter was awarded on Friday when would the payment likely hit my bank account? Is it 3 days or 5?

Usually 3 but think it's dependent on bank x

So as it was Friday it should hopefully be tomorrow then? Or the lasted Friday?
As it's not there today... I hope I gave the right details 🫣

HangryLimeBeaker · 03/09/2024 09:36

@Cassiex yes! I would've been surprised if you had got it any earlier. have a look the rest of this week xx

I'd say tomorrow for payment. BACS are 3 days minimum (with day 1 being the day after it's processed).

We were declined. MR incoming.

Basically, an 11 year old isn't expected do have road sense and the fact she masks at school mean she's clearly fine! 😩
