I’ve sent loads and no reply so going too have too try and call but wasn’t much use before

Hi yes we were awarded on the sames day and my back payment came in on Saturday so yours should do tomorrow x

That's a long time to be waiting, I would give them a call. And keep writing on the journal, your case worker should be replying. If not ask them to escalate it to case manager or someone senior x

Hi,

Can anyone confirm difference between new claim and scan date

I made a new claim via phone on 16/05, received the form then sent it back and received text confirmation of receipt 24/06, this was three days before the return by date for backdating.The text said I should hear back within 25 weeks!

Two questions if I may

1. Is the date they confirm receipt of the completed form the scan date?
2. If I receive an award will both DWP and UC backdate it to the original request date?

Thanks

Scan date just means when the uploaded it to there systems and the wait starts from then. So your scan date would be 24/06 and yes both will backdated until the day the forms were requested. You have to ask for it to go to a decision maker for late reporting on UC because the changes will be made outside of the time frame which they happened although they will backdated it. DLA will backdated from the 1st Tuesday after you rang for the forms

I'm so confused I was expecting 2k back pay but have received £761
This happened to anybody else

Are you sure you got the rate correct/the dates? Ive never known them to get the back pay wrong

Yes when I called she said 5 year award hrc and lrm expect 2149
All I've had is 761.10 my sd is 7th March and I've tried to work the rate out If they had got it wrong but it doesn't add up

Yes S+L have been sent off. Awaiting reports for physio so I can send them off. Will call gp today and ask for a copy.

MR 16/1 - 24 weeks Thursday. Xx

Going to call at 9 cause something not right how I've recieved 761.10 when she said 2149 is beyond me
I called foe forms on Jan 30th and was awarded last Wednesday no rate adds up she said hrc and lrm I'm so annoyed!

Must be so disappointing and confusing! I hope it all gets sorted when you ring x

SD 18/03 NC

Checked bank this morning, there's an upcoming payment scheduled for tomorrow 💜

Good luck to all those waiting and fighting. I hope there's lots of positive news for your children this week x

Congrats that’s a nice start to the week x
Good luck everyone hope it’s a positive week x

My 3 year old daughter’s original claim only had the someone who knows her part completed by preschool and she’s was awarded middle rate care ( which I knew was low for her but I didn’t have any evidence and she doesn’t sleep ) less than a year on I have loads of evidence, she is now 4, much higher need, diagnosed asd + pda, ehcp and been seen by multiple people so I have put in a COC.

Oh no do call them that doesn't seem right at all, I hope you get it sorted x

So I've phoned up and a lady said we was awarded hrc and lrm and recieving 2149 should land tomorrow
I asked why have I only recieved 761 and she said it was awarded mrc and basically changed their decision I asked well will I be expected to pay this 761 back then? My next payment will be the 29th
Anyone had this before it's so confusing

I have , see my latest message on here it's all a mess my anxiety can't take it so I'm waiting to ask another agent for 2nd opinion

It's all so confusing, back payment should be straightforward 😕. It will get sorted It's just that you don't need all this extra headache. I hope thus 2nd agent is more helpful for you x

It sounds like the original dm was training and made the decision for hrc and lrm and it was sent to other dm to look over to make sure they’ve made the right decision and they’ve changed it. Really it shouldn’t be put on the system until the final award is confirmed. That is so heartbreaking for something like that to happen, will you do a mr?

No it's all worked out she's got hrc and lrm , the 761 is mrc and it is the difference between the 2 rates. I'm still receiving the 2k tomorrow.

No fb awards yet. Seems like a slow day

Oh yes, I keep getting confused because they first told me my date was 27/12 the two of them said it was actually 31/12 🤦🏻‍♀️ good luck and let me know if you hear anything x

I will do.
