Renewals dont usually get looked at until just before the end of the current award. So maybe 2 weeks to literally days before.

Nc 14/8
Rang today and its with a decision maker, has anybody had a decision around this time?

Hopefully you hear something today or tomorrow, have you called up today? COC aren’t supposed to go over 30 weeks

Hi when was ur claim meant to end my ends Nov 14 and they received my form for renewal on 11/8

Yes just rang and tried have been declined. So now need to do MR, so annoyed after such a wait to get no

Im so sorry, that’s horrible news 😞 especially after all this waiting! Did you do a COC for care and mobility? Definitely do a MR I know the wait is going to be long but hopefully it will be worth it in the end 🤞

Yes change for both but its stayed the same. Im so disappointed. How long are MR taking do you know x hope you get the decision you want

I’m not 100% sure but I think they seem to be a few weeks less than COC, even if you was to have a renewal due in that time still do a MR for back pay if they change the award. It’s totally devastating that you even need to go through a MR after waiting all that time! Good luck with your MR! Thank you I think I will have another 4 weeks before a decision going on wait times.

Hi My date was 16th Oct (form sents start of August) and decision made 3rd Oct Both claims remained the same LRM MRC. Hope this helps!

Thank you really big help xx

I honestly have no idea what went wrong with my new claim😅 Is the person who had one from May still on here?

My sis how be n with DM since 7/9 phones last week clearly wasn't 20/6

Hello does anyone know how long u/c take to verify and backpayment?

i rang as I couldn’t wait any longer. And it’s still not be been allocated to anyone. She did say I could ring again whenever I wanted to ask for an update as there is no time scale they can give me.

I am a new claimant. We made our claim back on 13 Aug and had a text to say all received etc.
Today I had a text to say they needed to speak to me. I was asked security questions name/my name/postcode/name of bank and then asked if we had lived in Scotland or wales. That was it! The call was about 40 seconds long and I don’t know what to make of it. Any insights from those more experienced?! ❤️

😂 that’s a first them saying you could call for a update whenever! It can’t be long I would think you should receive a decision by next Monday if not before 🤞

I know I was so shocked, we normally get told not to ring. Might call Friday like hey me again 🤣

MR 26/03 phoned today decision made Friday 3/10 changed to HRC x

Hi everyone done a coc and got no after 40 weeks waiting. Im doing a MR, does anyone know if he was to get accepted for that, do they backdate from the original COC or the new MR date. Thanks in advance

Hi I just want to know if anyone can help me my daughter was awarded dla mrc and lrm 2 year ago I did not have evidence just that she was waiting to be seen.
my renewal I send this as evidence this time hopeing I’m going to get hrc just wanted to know what any of you thought x

I dont think it would help if im being honest. The school report says 'mum says' which isnt helpful and although on melatonin and states sleep difficulties, it doesnt mention any care needs

They will backdate to the original COC

Thank you I don’t no how I meant to show edvince that she awake all night

They received my NC 6/8 and I had a pending payment in my bank account 2/10.
they seem to have really sped up on anyone who applied from July onwards so I don’t think you’ll be long.
Youll likely get a payment before a decision letter so keep an eye on your bank account 🤞🏼

Haha i noticed your post this morning and thought same date as me, i can't believe MR are taking over 6 months.
Was your claim a complete decline or have you done a MR for a higher rate? 💫
