Wish my NC took 6 weeks

Ah I hope u get a decision soon, it’s so frustrating waiting for them 😢 time always varies so much here my other sons MR took less than 2 weeks but was 28 weeks for NC. Though it was a few years ago.

I'm 13/2 as well, was hoping to hear soon, you sort of think surely it can't be much longer now with all the late feb dates..... its the not knowing that drives me mad, I'd rather know either way

Sorry to jump on your post but is 2 weeks the average wait time for the back pay then? I notified UC of DLA award and they paid me the difference for May (with disabled child element) but when I asked about back pay she said it had gone to a decision maker? Doesn’t make sense as it must have had to go to a decision maker to authorise the may payment! I’m confused

Hi yeah the decision maker will now work out what they owe u from the date u got awarded and send u a letter on ur journal of what is owed and day it will go in bank. I only know this as i went through this with UC with my other child 2 years ago but hers took abour 6weeks. Im currently now going through it with my 2nd child. I havnt got as far as it going to the decision maker yet but after me calling today to chase she said someone will update me before 6pm tmro xx

I will do, I called yesterday and cheekily said my letter said 15 weeks (which they do) but I havant heard anything yet, they explained could be upto 25 weeks but she did say hopefully you'll hear several weeks before that which I'm taking as the claim should be near the front of the queue x

Just wanted to give a little hope.
NC 23/1
SD WAS 13/2
I wasn't expecting to hear for another 3/4 weeks as my friend got a big fat no last week and she applied a month earlier.
today I received a back payment out of the blue- no letter, no text and I haven’t called once to chase etc.
good luck to those waiting

That’s why I think we don’t get ours done because we keep calling they must put it on the system every time we call

Liya1xx · 29/05/2025 20:38

really worried about my MR being declined does anyone know how long tribunals are taking just so I can prepare myself for the worse 😬 x

Surely that wouldn’t affect how long it takes

i had a tribunal hearing in February this year, appealed last June, so around 8 months!
Not sure if it’s still the same waiting times now!
what’s your MR sd?
Mines 20/11, called today and apparently still on 15/11! The wait is killing me!
