SD 29/07 - new claim

Jumbocoffeemorning · 16/10/2024 21:11

I’ve got 2 waiting!

Renewal scan date 6/08.
New claim dated 10/09.

I’m guessing (hoping) renewal will be done by the date current claim ends.

I’m not expecting the new claim before the new year though! 😩

When does your renewal date end? I think they do all renewals literally before the end date 1-2 weeks before.

Scan date 12/07, rang today and was told it won’t even go to a decision maker until week 20 and then it’s with them for however long they take to decide 😭 wish they would all sing from the same hymn sheet

Kel3270 · 17/10/2024 10:05

SD 13/06 originally but missed a small amount of information so re scanned 12/07 they said they go from 12/07 so I have ages to wait 😭🤣

MR date 30/05

New claim sd 28/06

ThisMerryDreamer · 17/10/2024 10:29

SD 21/6 new claim.

I called yesterday to see if they had scanned on my additional evidence.

Asked for an update whilst on the phone and was told it is the queue for a decision maker but should hear in the next week.

17 weeks tomorrow. I did request the forms in November and waited until diagnosis was confirmed to send them in - wondering if the date we ordered the form has any impact at all or whether that is just wishful thinking!

Good luck everyone 🫶

Famofsend · 17/10/2024 10:40

I phoned this morning and was told COC are taking 25 weeks!
My scan date is 7/6, so potentially another 6 weeks!!

Dead on 9am I'm straight through every time, I never call throughout the day as I know can be up to 2 hours to get through at times with loads always calling

S/D 11/07, MR. Been told 15 weeks up until yesterday when I called (now on week 14) and was told to wait until the beginning of January as it’s now a 25 week wait 😩

Ash900 · 17/10/2024 12:15

Scan date 12/09 so I know I have a while to go but it really does help seeing others scan dates and when a decision was made. I was told middle of Jan but i recon it’ll be more Feb time!

I phoned this morning COC same as you scan date at top of pile but taking 20 weeks which is next week, honestly they say anything to just stop people from ringing

Jumbocoffeemorning · 17/10/2024 14:09

@Mummy335 renewal date is end of November so hoping done for then! If it’s done after do you get interim payments or does it just stop? @Addictedtococacola
