Nah I won't bother until about 15-16 weeks, that seems to be the average award. Have you?

Informed UC that my child now gets DLA on the 17/06
its all been verified and back date accepted. Does anyone know how long it takes after that?

MrsBoo8888 · 19/06/2025 09:46

Kittykatmumof4 · 19/06/2025 07:20

After reading all these posts im definitely going to phone up and speak to a team leader to see what exactly is going on for the time scales etc because to be honest it is a joke. Call handlers saying all different things its not fair on anyone. X

Have you called?

I’m still waiting to be verified from the 6/06. Seems like the never in a rush when they owe money

Oh. Mine only took 2 days. When I wrote on my journal they replied within the hour.
I wrote to the payment department and to the case handler and it was all done quite quickly.
I received an electronic letter 10mins after updating that they were back dating.

I got awarded yesterday afternoon.
I was just so overwhelmed with everything when I called and they were telling me the decision it just didn’t register the date the back pay would be credited to my bank account as I need to get my son a wheelchair

Oh I know that feeling, it’s so overwhelming when they are telling us the award to listen to anything else. I would say you should receive back pay Monday, maybe Tuesday if it was awarded later in the day

I rang and was told my daughter was awarded but it had to go to a different person to see if they agreed with the rates she was awarded, that took 1 week and then had the back pay around 3 days after that.

Judgejudysno1fan · 19/06/2025 11:07

Can they do that or will.it be MR X

GirlsMumWorld · 19/06/2025 11:15

Caved in and called today again following last weeks annoying phone call. It’s now with a decision maker! I know this could mean so many things but the women did say someone is literally looking at the case now due to the mistakes they’ve made with not scanning my application on properly and should have a decision within a week or so
