Said they are all working overtime to catch up the backlog

Any idea how long back pay takes please

I think it depends on the bank- some banks like Monzo it shows up pending quite early I believe. The usual is 3-5 working days though

Do you always get text a decision with MR? I didn't with my initial claim but wondering if it's different for MR xx

NC SD 13/06

Others in the last thread had decisions from the same day, so I’m hoping this is my last one 🤞🏻

The payment won’t be sent until tomorrow so it will be Thursday it clears in you bank

I have never received a text with a decision but they seem to be doing them abit more now

Hi all. COC 24/2
Hoping to increase from HRC LRM to HRC HRM UNDER SMI but we shall see

I wondered this too! For what I’ve seen recently in posts tho isn’t seem so?

I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if mines with Decision maker yet as it's 30 weeks this week coming 😩! Are you calling x

They haven’t done a bad job then tbf as when I applied back end of last year we waited 18/20 week! 10 is much more reasonable!

I think I will call on Wednesday at 29 weeks to see if it’s with a decision maker. I’d like to know eventually either way as the post here takes ages. !!

Hi all.
Dwp were meant to reply by 9th August to me taking it to Tribunal. They didnt! Rung courts on 11th August to see what happening. They said we will contact them and give them 2 more weeks. Called courts again on 26th August for them to say, we will contact them again and give them 4weeks then it will go into a Tribunal hearing date que. Why just keep moving the goal posted.
Feeling quite upset and low about it all.

On another note, my friends done a Mr 07/02. She had a call 9am Saturday morning from a lady Dm. Said she will make a decision today(meaning Saturday). My friends like il call them Tuesday, Nooooo call monday 😄 shes hoping her alittle Man will go from Mrc to high rate care.🤞

I waited 25 weeks in 2023 to be turned down. Its such a long wait. I had little hope after this experience so really relieved to have been awarded

NC SD 24/06 and 25/06 for my twins. It will be 10 weeks on Tuesday. So we shall see how long this wait is.

We are MR 11/3 so 30 weeks on Tuesday… When I last called a couple of weeks ago they said I was looking at September and here we are…!

Hopefully really soon my sd was 23.6 and awarded 31.8.

Good luck everyone calling today

@el11 @greenyb good luck, hopefully the DM has finished with both of yours and you get a positive outcome 🤞

Nc Sc 24/6 - hoping this week I hear back

Congrats!! Hopefully this means they’ll be working through 24/06 today or tomorrow 🤞🤞

It doesn't seem to be done in order. I think it's more a lottery. My daughters SD was 04/06

oh no have you not heard back yet? Was this a NC? I thought it was done in order 😪

Yes it's a NC. There was someone on the last thread that was a NC from March and only awarded a week or so ago

I wasn’t aware. Hopefully we all get responses soon. I hope you receive a decision soon 🤞 xx

Just called... mine was assigned to a decision maker on Friday, so nervous now 🙈🙈!!! Really hoping they make the right decision, my son is definitely entitled to high rate care xx
