COC 18/12. Called today. Still in a queue waiting for a decision maker. 27 weeks today

Hi COC my SD was 4/12, we have 2 weeks between our dates, I know how your feeling, I hope it's not too long till you get your decision. I was told on the 29th week it's near the end and will be decided anytime soon. Fingers crossed for you xx

i got my coc at 28+5 sd 29/11 awarded last Wednesday xxx

Been awarded this afternoon

Hi how long did your back payment take to come through x

awarded wednesday, backpayment saturday however i bank with barclays and think any payments due monday come in earlier? and then i got my letter today xx

Been calling today its been 29 weeks still in a queue to be seen by case manager 😩☹️ the waiting time its just taking forever , im stressing a lot xx they told me to call after 7-10 days if i wont receive any call for more information or letter x iv been stressing that my son will be refused

Oh no, is it a MR?, you really just don't know what to do, call or give them time to do what they need to. But at 29 weeks that's taking it sure fine time !
I was told not to call also, maybe ring and ask why it's taking this long xx

Mum331 I’ve asked them just today like 20 min ago , they just said they do really apologise that it takes a bit longer but i asked why does it take so long x they said they have so many forms to do 😩 just overthinking now x

Congratulations lovely so happy for you x

Hey everyone I have been a follower for a while. NC scan date 28/3
Called other day to be told I was in holding queue 2 and seen dates near mine awarded so thought I would call again today. Just called and been told looking at September 🙈🙈

Hi. Thank you for the reply. Awww you had a long wait too😔 I’m so glad your wait is over. Thank you I’m hoping it’s really near the end now xx

I think going by these dates then there’s around another 2 weeks left for me. I’m so glad you’re wait is over xx

You will hear by the end of this week, call them on Friday, from what I was told 29 weeks is the furthest it goes, hoping you get what your child deserves xx

@Mumof1J thank you for your kind words, I hope yours gets looked at sooner for you, I think COC's are looked at the right end. After MR's and NC. Xx
@Tiredndconfused thank you I hope you get your decision soon xx

Oh my really I hope so shouldn't be long than for me either if 29weeks is the furthest it goes xx

Thanks so much !!! Same to you hun xx how long dis u waited and dis been thru COC ? X thanks for learing me what COC means lol 😀🤭🤭

COC is change of circumstances
And MR is Mandortary Reconsideration x
The 1st is when you call because of a change and the 2nd is when u disagree with a decision made x

Original Scan date 2nd July 2024.
MR 02/01. Today will mark 25 weeks.
Have zero hope at this point.
Can't believe I've been waiting just under year now for justifiable awards!

The wait is awful have you tried calling for an update?
I think they currently still working on mid Dec dates

Morning
Good luck to all today

im wondering how quickly after been rewarded can you apply for carers and roughly how long does it take to be accepted ?

Hey you can apply straight away! I done mine the day I got awarded xx

I done mine same day for carers on UC got awarded back pay which will be in my bank tomorrow by 8pm took only just over a week just waiting on disability element on UC to be backdated now 😊 and congratulations on your award xx
