Hello All, I sent the forms off after printing in the first half of March and didn’t hear anything. In mid May, I rung purely to check they’d received as there had been no text or letter. It was confirmed that they were received 18th March. Today I receive a letter in the post to say they’re looking at what we’ve sent and it was received on 18th March. Would this indicate a SD of 18/03 or is there a potential additional delay as it’s taken 3 months for their first communication

We have a SD of 08/03 and didnt get letter till mid May

I’ve just called back and there saying a decision hasnt been awarded yet?? I don’t understand as decision maker rang at 11:22 am this morning on this number 0800 023 2635 and said he was making a decision there and then he just needed to ask about night time care for my son and I’d get the letter in 7-10 working days.

I wonder if he has approved and it’s awaiting for payment being calculated etc, not quite sure xx

Uc question
So renewal was re-awarded 4th June, rates went from mrc to hrc lrm
change of circumstances on uc done on 9th, both my children verified only 1 gets dla on 11th June
I Had messaged twice after as I didn't hear anything else still nothing as of this morning so called this afternoon and they sent a message to a cm to chase up my messages
Received a message 2 hours later saying my dla change has been sent to a dm about backpay.
How long after a decision maker receives it does it take for them to get back to you?

Hey!!! No I've not had anything else since yesterday's message saying it's been sent to a dm, I'm not sure how long it takes once it goes to them, when did yours go to a dm if you don't mind me asking sorry? I've always assumed when a payment has been accepted its usually 3 to 5 working days isn't it? Maybe you'll get another letter soon with a payment date on? X
