Good morning everyone, I have been watching this thread for a short while, my SD is 30/03 it is a renewal, was on MRC was paid normal payment yesterday but have woken up to a very similar payment today, which I am confused as that would not be much back date if it has gone up I am totally unsure or maybe don’t qualify for back pay as still being receiving normal payments per month, does anyone who has done a renewal know how it works, thank you

Hi COC SD 4/12 I was told yesterday it's in a pile, at the last stage it can get to. And to expect it to be looked at this week. 1st she told me it can take up to 25 weeks when I said I'm in my 29th week she proceeded to tell me it will be anytime soon! At this point don't know what to think.
I hope you and all get the answers soon xx

29 weeks! That's utterly ridiculous can't they escalate it for you ? X

Yesterday was told also in a pile, phoned Monday to be told it's at top of que to go to a certain decision maker. None of them know what they are talking about x
