Your definitely 24 weeks tomorrow your 1 day after me and I’ve just turnt 24 weeks today

Does anyone know what MR dates there on?x

I’m SC 7th march and they sent me a letter to say they received it and then I got another letter about 3 weeks ago saying sorry on the delay and it can take up to 15 weeks are you a NC?

from what i’ve seen, roughly 10th/11th of november x

They said 23 weeks because your not 24weeks until tomorrow

Yes NC

Wow there really behind! crazy I’m more worried we’re going to get declined then I have to go tribunal and wait another 6-7 months x

New claim
scan date 17th Feb 2025
called today as received a letter stating there dealing with my sons claim and will take upto 15 weeks, lady on the phone stated it’s 20 weeks from scan date, so by that info 7th july 2025

Was yours a new claim my scan date is 17th Feb

Can you please explain what this means to me please? So I apply for the back payment from UC they will take money from it because I got the transitional protection? I don’t understand

Yes mine was a new claim xx

Wow so yours was around 16 week wait for a
new claim, sorry to ask did u send in much evidence x congrats x

I’m still waiting from October 😔

Terrible is there anyway you can put a complaint in because it’s exceeded the 25 weeks?x

Me too - such an awful thought tbh. But I had to go to tribunal for one of my other children so it’s a real possibility for us I guess. At least you get paid back to the date you claimed…

Maybe a possibility would be to write to MP?

MR 21/11. Over 25 weeks still waiting

MR 14/11 SD

called today and told they are currently on the 12th of November and I should have an answer by Friday Still taking that with a pinch of salt!

We were awarded last year for HRC and LRM but trying to fight for the HRM due to her being a risk out in public , no danger awareness and needs to be restrained on a daily basis. So even if we have to go through tribunal it is what it is but I’m going to carry on fighting as I know what she’s entitled to x

New scan date - 25/02
got a text today to say my child qualifies. Don’t know how much yet

That’s fast my scan date is 27/1 and still with a case manager

Yes that's right. It won't affect a back payment from DLA, but if you are due a back payment from UC they will deduct it from the transitional protection first pound for pound.
