I did and they both told me that they didn't give out MR decisions over the phone. Not sure if that's true or means it's based news

How annoying! They’ve made you wait all this time and won’t even tell you! I hope the letter or back pay arrives quickly for you 🤞
did you choose option 4 when you rang?

Thanks for your reply!
does this also apply to UC as he was on higher now they’ve dropped him to middle so the UC element goes down to around £158 instead of £490 ish will they also backdate the difference if the MR is successful? Thanks.

Not entirely sure about uc but I can’t see why they wouldn’t.

Kirstylou91 · 28/05/2025 15:41

There’s quite a lot now in the 20 Feb

senmumma91 · 28/05/2025 15:41

Has anyone been told a decision on a MR over the phone? When I called last week I was told a decision was made but I have to wait for letter I can’t be told over the phone. Going by that I’m guessing it’s a decline. I just didn’t wanna waste my time on hold if they don’t tell you MR decisions!
