You're welcome, 10 weeks is way too long, it's awful that they ignore us when they owe us money but I bet if we owed them they wouldn't stop contacting us not to mention this money is for children.

Yes your so right at the beginning of August I gave up, just waiting for a reply. I called and was told to write again on the journal which I have done, also it doesn't seem like the call handlers at UC know much, and aren't able to answer questions just directing you to write on your journal. Fingers crossed this route gets the answer my child deserves x

Did they say if it was or wasn’t with a dm this time? Surely it has to be soon, the scan date before you has already received their decision so you’ve got to be next.

Yeah it’s been with a dm way over a week apparently 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m not sure how long they usually have it though before decision

Did you send much evidence? Unless they have contacted someone. None of mine have ever been with a dm over a day but I’m expecting my coc to be longer because I’ve sent so much in, so could just be that.

I sent in a fair bit I think, I rang up last week and they said it was with someone already for 2 days, rang today and it’s still with someone 🤷🏽‍♀️

No they will only backdate while she’s been on UC not before receipt of UC

Got a Monzo notification today! SD 24/06

I have been wondering how long after the decision is made it would show as pending in a Monzo bank. I would call option 4 and they will be able to let you know what has been awarded

Someone on Facebook had an MR decision with a scan date of 12th April!

as much as this is close to my date it also means how all over the place they are with others still waiting from Feb!

SophiePie · 03/09/2025 17:59

Deadline for backdating is tomorrow (4th September), sent mine today recorded delivery so guaranteed to get there by 1pm tomorrow. Hope it works!Made a copy just in case so fingers crossed
