29 weeks today for my coc, does anyone know what date they are working on or anyone had any decisions from sd 11.03.2025

4/5/6 of March COC found out yesterday, they decision was made sun / mon. They don’t usually let COC go over 30 weeks so you should hear this week sometime

Friend of mine just had a NC awarded10 weeks from her SD. I’m still waiting COC 17.3

@LizzieLoulabell @Lissac86 have you joined the new thread? The link is above, this one will end soon. It’s looking like 10/3 - 19/3 is still waiting for COC but are being done by 30 weeks so hopefully not much longer for you both 🤞

Thank you for your response how do I join new thread please

A payment went into our account today, so it looks like my daughter has been awarded DLA. How does it work with back pay? I called to get the form sent to us, and sent it back before the deadline, but the scan date was a few days after the deadline. It looks like the only we have been sent covers the period since the form was scanned only (although we haven't received a letter yet so it's not possible to tell exactly). My understanding was that if it is approved that you should be back dated to when you first called to request the form?

What was your scan date and the amount? It may be that because it was scanned after the deadline they are doing it from the scan date

Thanks, the scan date was 7th August. It was sent in before the deadline by a few days. Having looked at the numbers I think they have just paid from the scan date, so I will give them a call once we have received the letter.

If you've got proof you posted it before the deadline you might be able to dispute it

Any MR from June ❤️ not heard anything and phoned but I was waiting an hour so gave up xxx

There's MRs still waiting from March/April. 20-30 weeks at the moment

Wow crikey this time last year i was waiting for my son only took 15 weeks . Now it's longer . Hope you guys aren't waiting to long x

I’ve just had a new claim processed in 8 weeks! Had a letter when they received my application to say it would be up to 18 weeks! But when I checked my bank today I’ve got a pending transaction! Hoping it’s not all some huge mistake 😅

Sadly the only proof we would have would be when the envelope went through any machines whilst being processed by Royal Mail. We just put it in the post box thinking it had enough time to arrive and therefore didn't need anything else 😞

We will wait and see what the letter says and then go from there.

SD 19/5 NC .. 20 weeks today … still waiting for the decision… 😳 is it normal.. because I saw so many posts getting decisions within 10 weeks of their claim.

I can't believe you still haven't had a decision. There's claims that have been awarded from the end of August. There should be a link to the new thread if you scroll. This one is almost full

Have you rang them?
