Morning all, for those who are waiting for UC to verify and make the adjustments to your payments, including back payments. I notified UC on the 27.6, my children were verified on the 30.6. I contacted yesterday and I have been told a case manager will be in contact today. I'm not sure what that means, I have not received any letters or anything 🤔 😕

Hi all - nc sd 11/03 and a payment in the bank this morning :)

Hi, I also had SD 11.03 and received backpay this morning.
Congratulations to you and your child!

Morning all, for those that have contacted your local MPs, what did you say? I’ve been contemplating it for months after someone I know told me to do it but I just don’t have a clue what to say and can they really make a difference?

its just so off putting calling them to get some rude call handler telling you to not call as it’s a 25 week wait!
I hope these people they are training up read the evidence and forms carefully and not just rush wrong decisions!
another 6 months to wait it’s such a long way away!

thankfully I haven’t had a rude call handler yet🙈 dreading the day I do cause I hate being on the phone to people as it is😂 pretty sure someone got a mix up with there claim in this thread because of someone they are training up😬 my little one was awarded in March LRC but he had been having sleep issues when I first filled out the forms but they gradually got worse but I didn’t have much evidence of it, paediatrician prescribed melatonin the day after the decision was made so I done a mr after decision they sent a letter after waiting 8 weeks and said that my evidence for MR is more a COC so in total I’ll have been waited 9/10 months🙄

LLLH · 02/07/2025 08:14

Congratulations to you too - i feel like a weight has lifted a bit - I can get more of what he needs to get him the help he needs and improve his life :)

Victoria52308 · 02/07/2025 08:58

For those who have been awarded already my child was verified on UC on 19th of June and sent to a decision maker for back pay and still haven’t heard anything which is 2 weeks tomorrow, I’m not sure if calling will be of any use? Also congratulations and good luck to all that are waiting/have had for your DLA decisions 🙂🤞🏻

Sunflower1650 · 02/07/2025 11:16

Took 20 mins but I got through. They’ve received the additional evidence I sent last week. At the moment it’s still with the decision maker 😭 the wait is horrible.

MrsBoo8888 · 02/07/2025 11:44

The DM hasn't looked at my 19/3 claim again yet (declined 28/6). A Email was sent over with his extra evidence that was put under my other sons claim yesterday and she's going to chase it up to make sure they have recieved it.
Nothing on my sons 26/3 claim yet
