Your stronger willed then me, I’d need to know lol 😂

I asked when it went to a decision maker she was like I don’t have that information all I can say is that it’s not in the holding que now and has been assigned. But can take 25 weeks 🙈

Mommaof2babas · 12/06/2025 11:01

Hii, does anyone know how long uc are taking at the minute, I updated change of circumstances on Monday, both my children's details were verified yesterday (1 with dla&1 without) due to dla renewal award being increased from mrc to hrc&lrm but nothing else has happend yet? I remember when we first got dla 2 years ago, and had to sort uc, It was all sorted and backdated within the week, seems to be alot slower now?

GirlsMumWorld · 12/06/2025 11:53

Hello everyone,
so I caved in and I'm currently on hold with them seeing as a lot of NC from March have already had a decision. I promised myself I wouldn't call until at last the end of June but curiosity killed the cat.
NC SD 5/3 ( I think, I lost track at this point)
I will keep you all updated

Well I'm annoyed. really annoyed.
my SD is actually 3/3
just spoke to a lovely guy, my application hasn't even been registered. thank god I rang because it would have just been sitting there for weeks and weeks. when I rang in march the person back then should have registered the application but never did. luckily its now been done and ID verification has been completed but I probably have weeks to go now because of this stupid mistake by them
