Hello when is it you count from the first call to get the forms or the actual SD that they backdate you? I didn’t get the form in on the date the forms told me to send back in time 🙈

Just rang for an update as I’m 25+1 MR
was put through to a CM, they are on 8/11 and working in date order to keep it fair to everyone! She said they’re getting through them quicker as yesterday they were at 7/11 and day before 6/11! She said it could still be 2/3 weeks as I’m 20/11

Catchmeifyoucam · 15/05/2025 12:37

SD 24/01 new claim. Rang yesterday and was told been with a decision maker since 6th May and should have a decision by middle of next week, rang today to see if a decision had been made and told it’s still in a holding Que and won’t have a decision till July! 😭 does holding Que mean with decision maker then?
