Just had a call from dla (MR March 17th) asked about my child’s birth cert and why the address was different and then asked about my bank, which bank and why my name was different on the account than on the form. Said they’d be looking at the claim today, has anyone had this? My anxiety is through the roof😬🤣

They always ask about bank details as its a security question, with the names/address being different theyll just want to make sure no mistakes ect have been made and you are who you say you are

I would suggest they was making sure all the details are correct before making a payment, if you’ve been waiting along time and the payment is going to be a large amount the dm usually calls to make sure details are up to date and correct before sending a payment. I’ve seen this with a few other MR claims

Theyll likely disregard it but sometimes theyll check it over to make sure award still fits

I’m still waiting. Been just over 29 weeks with our scan date being the 5/3. I’ve seen on FB aswell several people in aprils have been awarded. Seems like they are just picking names out of a hat! So annoyed with this wait now!! X

Garfieldthecat · 25/09/2025 10:15

We’ll be nearly 29 weeks for coc, when I asked why so many had been awarded from later dates, they said we don’t know the circumstances of their application so can’t comment 😕
