Yes me too got told the same today. Just had enough now and want it over with I sent off what I believe as decent evidence but if we get a no I'll end up climbing the walls x

Mine went to a dm on 02/05 and I had a decision on 29/05 some take their time xx

are you going to call again tomorrow? I will try after school drop off. I hope we will be lucky tom and will have some good news🤞

I know so annoying l rang them today as well they said they will send message on journal but no message yet my statement due this week was hoping it would be done.

I think they just make it all up on the phone to get rid of us tbh 🙈

I Done change circumstances then put date on when awarded from which is your scan date and put in higher rate then have wait for it be verified which can take time l have been waiting for nearly two weeks but might be lucky get done sooner.

I might if I can be bothered 😕 everytime they tell me the same thing i feel drained today from it all 😂😂

SD - 05/03/25
Awarded - 17/06/25
HRC & LRM

Called at 9am today to be told it wasn’t even with a decision maker yet, then got the text message to say it was awarded this afternoon :)

26/02 and nothing yet, I’ve seen March ones but also early Feb so think it’s a bit of a wide range with new claims!

Good luck xx

Congrats on the award xx

Mr.. 17/12..
7pm tonight . Missed a call, was from dwp.. Said would call back, He did, 10mins later. We were on the phone for 13mins. Lovely man.
I think i messed my Boys chances up of getting the help he needs. I froze. Grrr at me 😢 i feel awful..

wow thats late! fingers crossed for you lovely cx

I know.. working late to catch up i guess. I feel it went so bad. I just froze. Xx

Congratulations on the award! 👏

I wonder if there will be less MR and COC scan dates towards the end of December due to the Christmas / new year shut down to make wait times alittle sooner 🤞 or am I wishful thinking 😂

COC 18/12 - 26 Weeks tomorrow
Congratulations on all awards today. Fingers crossed for more tomorrow 🫶🏼

I was thinking the same they were closed for few days over Xmas new years so a few dates will be skipped hope they get on to Jan soon feels like we been waiting forever
21 weeks tomorrow

Hi, been following for a few weeks, hoping to see a similar situation. I sent a COC coming up to 20 weeks ago but our renewal was also sent in same month (due to end 5/7) I called a few weeks ago as not heard anything to say it had been received. anyway long story short there was a mix up with both both files and renewal wasn’t registered on system. I was told it would be put together asap and done at same time. Few days later I received a letter with scan date 18/3 (I definitely sent before this date!- still not heard anything the wait is horrendous:(

Did you put all the same information for both COC and renewal? I would imagine they would do it as a renewal and not a COC. My sons renewal runs out 12/7 and I’ve already got the decision last month but some renewals seem to be being done closer to the end date.

I’m frustrated.
NC SD 9th December 2024…

Nothing

Have you tried calling them that’s a really long wait for a NC

For the people who have put in for COC do you still recieve your payments as normal while your claim is being looked at? As i read on another post the payments I recieve now will stop until my COC claim has been looked at thank you.

No the payments continue as normal until decision has been made it’s the same with MR if your appealing for a higher rate x

Hoping to see that text message or see that 0800 number call today 😂🤞
