🤣 I really hope you get an answer soon. Are you going to chase it up this week? Wishing you the best of luck ❤️

Edited

I might call tomorrow now as I called twice yesterday 😭🤣
They probably flag my number at the office and rock paper scissors who answers 😅🙄

Sd 8/07. Feel like it's finally getting closer with the awards this week. 🤞 Everyone gets the decisions their children deserve

ThisNoisyTurtle · 07/11/2024 09:33

SD also 08/07. I feel like the closer we get the slower time gets. This must be how the kids feel as Xmas approaches!

Aww love you. Don’t be daft. I hope you hear soon. It feels like I’ll still be here in the new year at this rate 🤣. I just hope it’s not a decline after all of this waiting.

Just think that hopefully if the DM has asked for more evidence it means it's on a desk that's really looking into it for you to ensure you get the correct rates 🤞🤞

I shouldn't imagine so as the UC will be able to see the award on the system as they're all interlinked I think, congratulations 👏 🎉

No you should be ok as uc share the same system :) make sure you note your journal to ask for backdated amount aswell or they won’t do it for you :)

I've never been asked the end date by tax credits. I'm due to do my switch but was trying to hold out until they have amended my award.

connor12 · 07/11/2024 10:26

I caved and called just now and have been awarded. So happy. I've seen a few around my date that have been awarded and hadn't heard anything so had it in my head it had been declined. Scan date 27/06.

Special24 · 07/11/2024 10:29

congratulations to everyone who have been awarded.

I am still waiting scan date 3/7. Stress level is so high.
