Renewals between 15-20 weeks approx

scan date (SD) date form was scanned on the system and counting weeks for decision
original claim date: date you called up for the forms and you will be backdated

UC : universal credit

currently we are in July/August for decisions! xx

Oh maybe phone again x

Thank you! Probs take it back of me lmfao x

SD 25/07 - new claim - with a decision maker. I’m dying to call but probably no point!

That’s why I said ring them because you don’t want to be chased for an overpayment x

New claim s/d 09/08

I still have a while yet. Scan date 12/09 NC. I’m still holding on to hope that there isn’t as many August applications cause of maybe wanting to wait until schools open again to get evidence so hoping they get through August quicker. Wishful thinking I know 😂😂

MR 06/08

Was it 750.50 by any chance?

Morning, finally had a response from UC to say the child element backdate has been ok'd by a DM. It said my payment changes will be reflected in my statements.

None of my previous statements amounts have changed. Any one know how long this takes?
The child disability element has already been added and had the last 2 months with it added to my payment.
Will it get another letter from them saying how much I'm owed?

I’m ringing shortly will let you know what they say😂

👋🏻
Original scan date 22/11/23
MR scan date 23/07/24

To be honest i haven’t seen as many scans date in august as in July, July was mad. I haven’t even found someone with the same scan date as me as of yet. So maybe you are right x

Mr 8/8
nc 29/7
hopefully we all hear soon x

@MammaLBlue if so, it’s 19 weeks different to HRC so your award has been changed🙏

SD 02/07 MR

MR 14/08
Original SD 14/02
About to phone to query original date as I think they have 04/04 😭

Have you not heard anything yet?

I just called and it’s still with a decision maker- told me they’ve got until 24/12 - which will be 25 weeks!

S/d 4/9 new claim

They are working on 09/07 MR dates you might want to call up. That’s the date a DM gave me today

I just rang up about the £750 payment they told me my child has been awarded higher rate!!!! But they told me in a letter that she was only getting middle so I have no idea what’s happened but I am shaking 😂!

£753.90

nc 09/10 long wait for me and my daughter hope everyone gets some good news before Xmas for there little ones ❤️❤️

Congratulations. Odd how they’ve made that mistake 😆

I just called and they’ve told me it’s up to 25 weeks and it’s only been just over 22 weeks! 🙄 so I’m stuck waiting I guess! I’ll call up again next week
