So I’ve just received the same letter on my journal, that’s what I was curious of too, how long it takes from now. Maybe next payment date 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you received the second letter on your journal saying how much theyll backpack?

Coc 25/03 sd think I'm at about 19 week wait today so I reckon I might hear something in September if I'm lucky I've been sending more evidence as and when it comes as all his appointments were around the time I had to send it back by his 5th birthday so didn't get letters till after it's a ridiculously long wait time mind I've only phoned to check extra evidence has arrived with them I will call again to check the other bits arrived I only sent last Friday hopefully they will have a little update then fingers crossed

Hi sorry for jumping on IV received no messages just my statements all updated with the carers element and updated of benefit cap I received back pay for them last week but child disability missing from them and no letters to say why IV left loads of messages and called but no one's replying my son was verified so not sure why it's still missing and no backpay for him x

DD12DD · 05/08/2025 08:48

How strange! Give them a call, if that gets you nowhere then make a complaint, someone posted the link on an earlier message

Good luck, surely they will have a decision for you by the end of the week now they have the last piece of evidence 🤞

If they’ve made the decision ask what date it was decided incase they made it without looking at the extra evidence, sometimes they make the decision then change it when they receive extra evidence.

Hi, so I’ve just received the letter saying how much they owe me, somehow I’m still only entitled to benefit for my 2 oldest even though it is my youngest receiving dla, so I get the disabled child element part for him but that’s all. they told me how much I’m owed and said it will be paid within 2 days if that helps 🤷🏻♀️

Call them up and explain no one is getting back to you on your journal and your wondering what happens next they will send a messaged to your coach workiny and when I did this they had to respond within 24 hours. I think it was.

Jenni20 · 05/08/2025 10:50

Does everybody receive text message updates? They are definitely doing April/mays new claims as I posted on Reddit too and somebody has sent me a reply saying they’ve got a payment this morning and she sent her forms on the 9tn may!

Beckallf · 05/08/2025 11:01

Im going to ring tomorrow as it will be 28 weeks then
