23 weeks mr just rang still not allocated to decision maker and the lady said that there behind xx

My SD was 19.03 for COC and I got told on Tuesday it could be another 8 weeks before I hear anything! I don't understand why they are only doing some and not others

Is that just to be verified not backdated ?

They always say different things, the other lady with the April coc called and they told her she wouldn’t hear til January, she called a few days later and a decision had been made, it turns out it was with a dm when they told her she wouldn’t hear until January.

Mines been two weeks and they have verified 2/3 of my children, no word of backdating yet though x

Literally posted this morning and I came home to a letter just now refused coc. Lots of evidence etc I give up. Sd was 19/02. Good luck people

If you don’t mind me asking what was your change for, care or mobility? Always feel sick to my stomach when kids don’t get what they deserve🥺X

I’m sorry to hear this, was you applying for mobility?

Scan date 14/07. Decision received today. 👍👍

Yeah he is 11 and autistic. Still wears reins but apparently doesn’t hit criteria

It was to add mobility. He is high rate care. Age 11 and autistic. 24/7 supervision and needs a safety harness when out but didn’t even get low rate

Oh so sorry to hear, seems such a hard thing to get, my little one is the same but they are only 4 so I’ll deal with mobility when he’s 5, fight it if you have the right evidence, I know someone whose kids isn’t half as bad as mine and his mum admits he doesn’t have meltdowns or need support outside but he was awarded LRM but she has a support worker that filled the forms out so maybe see if you have some sort of support in your area that can help with the forms X

My sd is 16/05... so 17 was but ugh the wait is so long :-/
Wont call til we are 25 wks

I’ve just read your reply underneath, I would definitely do a MR your child should be on LRM at least. Did they change your award length or completely not change it at all?

They can and have in some cases took it off people, but it seems the large majority they dont take it off. If its just an advance they wont take it but if its a very large debt recovery ect then I thibk ita more likely they will

Im 8/4 but everyone around my scan date has now had their decision so it’s hard to know when I will receive mine now 😵‍💫

Yes

Nah it ain't much no fault of my own ot was moving over from legency benefit so it's just tc debt

I had a £60 debt from an overpayment they made and I had a £300 advance and they didn't deduct it from mine last time, not sure if they would of if it were a larger debt opposed to overpayment and advance though xx

No change at all

Yh mine about 400 but I was paying 25%bit it's now 15% god knows y I was happy paying my son was awarded Hrc that's just under 500 a month was awarded aug backdated till march

Have you heard anything from universal yet regarding it being backdated? X

Nope I updated 19 August she just says wait lol
