Can they do that or will.it be MR X

I’m sure I’ve seen posts of people sending in late evidence and the decision maker overturning their initial decision on fb. I would call them and explain that school are getting back intouch because the call had to be cut short so that the decision maker is aware x

Just rang for an update on mr. Still nothing but was told my scan date is 11th dec but got told other day my scan date was the 13th December. How can they have 2 different dates on their screen. Confused 🤔

Awarded on Tuesday, UC have now said they have verified my kids and have asked for a decision maker to backdate the from MRC to HRC. From experience does anyone know how long it will be from when they verify the rate to receiving a letter with a payment amount?

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

It wasn't a lady called Jess, was it
she told me the exact same thing that mine hadnt been properly put on the system and they needed the birth certificate to verify her date of birth. yet the other day, I was told it was to verify her nationality. Goodness sake.

No. Today it was a lady called Claire. When I rang last week I spoke to a guy called George and he was the one who told me the application wasn’t scanned in properly and he did the ID verification on the phone

ProudZebra · 19/06/2025 16:47

The wait is killing me now, MR 25wks. Just want to know either way so I can prepare for what happens next whether it’s preparing to go to appeal or ordering things my son needs, I’ve been ok up until now, had a few wobbly days where I think why am I even bothering but I’m feeling really impatient at the minute
