Have you asked if there any hold up? Has some of march dates are being done.

I no yea .. she didn't say.. just that it's with decision.maker..and it could be today tomorrow..Next week..
They have put on I would like a text..but whether they do I don't no coz I have seen some others asking for text and they never got one.

I called Tuesday Morning. I got told my claim hasn't been looked at yet and is likely to be end of July/beginning of August before I get a decision. And that claims are taking up to 25 weeks. That makes us 15 weeks today. Hopefully not much longer! I was on hold for over an hour to be told that useless info 😩have you rang at all? X

I’ve just got through and been told that it’s with a DM but the woman on the phone couldn’t tell me anymore than that. I will ring again next week if I haven’t had an update.

I’ve asked for a text has well but they said most don’t have the facility to do that 🙈

but after @Betsy93 being told it was with a decision maker then it not. Im doubting that ours is even with dm yet xx

Did they only verify the ones without the dla and left the one with the dla ?

How long did it take for them to say there going to backdate also have they verified your child who gets dla yet ?

I was shocked when I called at 10 and got straight through, she was nice enough the call handler was. But she said she can’t see when it went to a decision maker only that it’s with one- I’m sure in past they said when it went to one 🙈 but then give me the 25 week wait line 🙈 I mean it’s only been 14 weeks so I would of been shocked if it would have been done xx

I done it originally and they all got verified but I got a journal message from uc to do it again as I put the award date not the claim date so I have done it again but only my children without dla have been verified not my daughter who gets dla it’s been over a weeek

It does take a little bit longer to verify children who r on DLA I think they check with dwp that it’s correct. I have just received a decision about back payment I’m just waiting for someone to calculate how much I notified them 3 weeks ago so it’s taking about 3 weeks for a decision for others waiting to hear about this
