Hopefully then just have to wait for letter, do i have to let universal credit know its carried on to make sure i get the payment from them as normal or will they know automatically?

Only have to inform them if it's stopped or you have higher care element on dla, x

I haveee. They just said unfortunately it's taking longer than 25 weeks.

I can't believe how long this process takes generally, utterly shocked and disappointed.

Thank you

What omg! What’s your scan date? That’s a joke have you phoned or anything? New claim too?

Claire1987777 SD 10/12 2024 no its COC 😩 yeah iv been ringing and decision not been done yet everyone basically saying something else all the time just been stressing over this ☹️, on wed i called they send msg to the case manager and asked me to call this friday for update i called the next day and they said call nect 7-10 day just ridiculous

Thank you. X

Ooh we’re the same scan date and I called today too! Wanted to check that they had some extra evidence I posted about 3/4 weeks ago and that it was on the system. He told me 25 week wait to and I should hear in September 😐

Oh no, that's the last thing u want to hear I hope your okay, these call handlers need to have some tact, it's frustrating 😑 I hope you hear the news you want xx

Congratulations xx

Anyone no where we are up to with coc? So 11/12/24

Anyone no where we are up to coc? Scan date 11/12/24

They wouldn’t have jobs if you didn’t call up. They seem to forget that small detail x

Anyone waiting for uc backpay element still it’s been 3 weeks still nothing

Hi I believe 29 weeks possibly 30 x

You need to log in and look at your journal messages, or call them. They maybe Waiting on some information x

Yes - also 3 weeks and counting over here 🫠

Any Feb/early March dates still out there? I’m SD 13/03 and getting more and more nervous seeing Facebook posts after our SD.

Im worried it’s going to be a decline. I sent loads of evidence. DS has a diagnosis of autism and dyspraxia, but the diagnosis for dyspraxia was only in May and the paediatrician still hasn’t signed off the report so it hasn’t yet been sent to me. I did ring them a couple of weeks ago and the person on the phone wrote a note on my claim of the new diagnosis and I also sent a copy of the melatonin prescription given at the same appointment, but I only sent that this week so it may have been too late :( I darent ring!

I am SD 11/03 - phoned Wednesday and was told not with anyone yet and it’ll be 25 weeks, no need to ring again etc etc!

Hey! I'm still waiting it'll be 3 weeks Monday for me, it's been with a dm since last Thursday🤦‍♀️ phoned yesterday they said someone is looking at it but still nothing!

Omg that’s crazy so long to pay out but if we owe something there so quick to take it x

I have a SD 17/03. It looks like there is still a fair amount left within March. I’m not going to bother calling as they’ve set their time frame at 25 weeks but seem to be achieving in less. Just keep an eye on the bank instead. I’ve only just got my first communication with them in the last week, one letter to confirm receipt date and the second to apologise for the delay

Good luck with everyone ringing today 🤞

Sorry if I've got wrong person, i can't quite remember but I'm sure it's you but did they end up sorting the verify of your child who does get dla? Sorry if it's not you🤦‍♀️x

I’m still waiting from 9th Jan
