Well.done I think my son will be refused can feel it just don't wanna ring

Wishing you loads of luck! It’s such an awful wait - I can’t believe mine was done so quickly! Must be so frustrating seeing dates after yours done & you’re still waiting😢

So got told it's still with DM and I will definitely have a decision by the 8th August he said it should be done b fore then but that the date he can see I just wish it was quick than this my youngest was with DM last Monday and decision was made by the Wednesday it might be because I srnt 16 pages of evidence not sure I might even call back at 4 see if it's been done 😆

I just called and got through in a few minutes! I posted about sending a NC to possibly the wrong address yday, so wanted to check. They have in fact received it and I have a SD of 10th July! I’m so relieved they have it!! I asked about waiting times and she said they aren’t advising how long it could take as it’s so busy. I know I’ll be waiting months but wow I’m so happy they actually got the claim!!

My claim for backdate for the DM ON UNIVERSAL CREDIT was applied for yesterday for disabled child element and carers element.

Anyone know how long this could take, please?

I’m still waiting! My children were verified a week ago yesterday and that’s the last I heard so two weeks waiting so far because it took a week to verify them x

Babylipswifey · 25/07/2025 10:02

called lady said no news but when they make a decision they will send you a text and you can call up rather then waiting for the letter so any of them who say they can’t give you the decision over the phone is talking out there backside

s39 · 25/07/2025 10:05

Unfortunately it’s just a waiting game for us all they will get around to us when they can or feel like!

Definitely and some dm are working quicker then others by the seems of things so it all depends who gets it I was fishing with a dead phone when I got my daughters decision
