Have there seriously been no awards today?!

Hi has anyone done a renewal. How long are they taking and how long did you send it back in. Thanks

It’s been very quiet hasn’t it

I have seen a good few get awarded on a couple different Facebook groups today. Dates varying from end of June to 18th July. Let’s hope next week they finish off the first half of July and get on with the 2nd!
I’m 11 weeks today so I still have a while to go but still keeping an eye on it as it’ll be good to see when they’re getting closer to mine

Seen quite a few on Facebook some at 22nd July scan date

Looks like there has been awards posted on FB I’m not on any of those groups x

Hiya I did a renewal in April was awarded in August not sure if they are taking longer now but my advice would be get it in as early as possible xx

Thanks. Do you know if any we’re MRs?

Anyone on here doing renewal? My oldest got awarded her MR a couple weeks ago, but i got my renewal for my youngest this week so im back in the DLA waiting game.

Also finally had confirmed my complaint to adjudicators office against HMRC has finally started its investigation. I was made to migrate to UC 2 weeks before being awarded, after a 30 week DLA new claim wait (No MR) April 2023 - November 2023. Tax Credits wouldnt give me back pay because the claim was closed. Declined MR, Tier 1 and Tier 2 complaint and now her renewals here before its sorted 🤪

anyway, sorry for the long post just wanted to give back story. What are the wait times like at renewal?

No. Either new claims or coc. Haven’t seen any MRs today but I’ll keep a look out x

My daughters isn’t due for renewal until next May. Haven’t had any forms through, in any event they will continue to pay until they’ve sorted the renewal

What's the latest time any one has received a text about being accepted

Thank you. I’m hoping they are working on them and we will see a flurry of awards x

SD 25/7/24 NC no decision yet.

Hi
my daughters claim was up for renewal on 27th November 2024. Sent in renewal forms along with evidence on the 1st November. Got a decision letter dated 11th November awarding same rate for two years. I received the letter on the 17th november. I have submitted a MR for the length of the award and mobility

I’ve been reading along while I wait too. I called today and still not been looked at. My forms were received by them 19th July. She said if I don’t hear by 6th December to call them back to chase it up. The last couple of weeks of the wait are awful 😩 hope everyone hears soon

Thank you for reply @Mummyjustmummy can’t believe you got a decision that quick! Where are you based. I got my renewal forms 4 weeks ago and haven’t sent back yet it’s very stressful

I rang yesterday new claim sd19/07 hopefully we hear soon x

Morning all! Fingers crossed for positive outcomes today🤞🏽🤞🏽

Im praying so we’ve had a very slow week it feels x

It’s been so slow. Gonna call up after the school run

I’m based in the East Midlands area. i always send them in 6-8 weeks before the renewal date. But this time longed it out even more due to my health.

Any overnight rewards? X

20 weeks today for coc sd 12/07

Just called they said its still in a que to be seen

It seems like it's been a very slow week so far, hardly any awards mentioned.
Fingers crossed that they've saved them all up for today and there's lots of good news for our little ones 😀
