I'm just worried they haven't received it.
When we were just about to post it, I actually said to my husband why dont we also just put in the latest prescription for her meds, and her diagnosis and letter from the consultant too, So I tried my best to gently open the envelope but part of it got torn, I let them know it was me who tore it on a separate signed and dated note, and then I taped it back up and senyt it, i am worried a taped up envelope to them will look liken someone has tampered with it and they might possibly throw it out. The other thing is IF IT HASNT GOT TO THEM, i need to now buy a new birth certificate. Grrrr. its very frustrating.....
Could call today, and ask.

Don't worry about it being taped, I always tape all my important letters plus with all the letters and evidence that are in them envelopes I always worry about it getting torn so I always tape it, it's just extra precaution! But definitely don't worry about it being thrown because of the tape, I'd personally phone everyday until you know it's there, could be worth asking if they know if it has reached them but not scanned yet? Hope you get some good news!

I'd call and ask. If they don't have it then I'd send off for another birth certificate incase it's lost. You don't want to delay your claim as they won't put it in the queue for DM until your little ones ID is sorted. Also next time send it signed delivery x

Yes definitely call everyday untill you know they have it it's not going to hurt by calling they don't log each time you call I called last week and the week before for my little ones claim as they couldn't link him to me he now has been found but still not linked to me so I think I will have to send BC when they ask his SD is 25th April and my older son is 04.04 so 2 claims going forward x

DD12DD · 24/06/2025 09:01

Good morning and good luck with everyone calling today 😊

I gave in and rang this morning. Knew it would probably be too early - but there have been a couple of FB from around my date.
The lady was lovely but just said yes we have it, yes we have your additional information. Currently a 25 week wait.
Good Luck to anyone else ringing this morning.
