My third and final claim NC SD 9/08.

i cannot wait for this to be over and all done! First was SD 12/7 and took 18w6d, second was SD 16/7 took 21w, third is currently on 18w5d. Not expecting a decision this side of Christmas but I also can’t help but keep checking 😁

I sent my forms off with plenty of time and they've said the scan date is a week after they received them meaning it's after the date they stated on the form for them to be back by, will it still get backdated to the phone call if awarded? Thanks.
