Thank you! x. They’re definitely working weekends now for sure as I had my call Saturday & that’s when I got told today the decision was made it’s just annoying for some as dates seem to be all over the place when realistically it should be done in order

Thank you I hope yours is awarded soon as I’ve seen people wait longer than others with even dates before hand so it’s just silly how they work it, they need someone sort of online system where you can check instead of having to keep calling because it does make you very anxious x

Anyone know what numbers I press when I call for a desicion answer? Renewal decision was made on 29th but wouldn’t tell me on phone

Really hope you get a good outcome, dates just seems all over the place & it’s not fair on people when like myself I’ve been awarded with a date after you which you’ve clearly been waiting longer than me so Im praying you get what you deserve for your child as we all are the ones having to deal with the hardship day to day x

Bless you, I'm so happy for you and that your wait is over. I'm sure it is fair and maybe they just work on a date system that is based on something else rather than scan date. Or maybe whomever were in the queue for has just been on holiday for the last month lol!

Fingers crossed x

@Kirstygingee
Yes ive been waiting over a month for them to pay my backpay and update my journal I phoned them on Friday to see why it was taking so long and its been put to a case manager so I will hear by the latest 6pm today its worth giving them a call x

I've only just wrote it on my journal over the weekend but keep seeing people saying it's taking 2months for them to sort it out. Just being impatient lol xx

Just recieved a phone call, asked if my bank details are still the same and asked me some question and was told my daughters Mr is getting looked at next.

Fingers crossed for you!x

@Kirz250496 do you know how long after a phone call you get a decision x

@Kirstygingee thank you, I
Hope everything goes well for you also x

Good luck! Mines been with a DM since last Tuesday/Wednesday but still not heard yet!😩😩😩😩

@LoudAquaViper Ugh I know 😩 it’s so stressful waiting! Fingers crossed we hear something soon 🤞❤️

My sons COC on DLA was awarded in September for mobility to be added as he turned 5 and they actually ended up changing him from MRC to HRC I informed UC of change on 20/9/25 and it was finally agreed on 24/10/25 to back date to march when I did the COC with DL but haven’t received anything yet.

Any NC left from august?

Have you called them up to chase the payment? Xx

I’m still waiting did not Thursday afternoon xxx

Yeah I’ve been calling loads and they just said today check your statements when they change it means they are working on it as they will be changing them inline with the backdated payments. I’ve also wrote 3 messages in my journal which have not been replied too.

I got the child details verified message but no acknowledgement of backdating, I don't know if that message means they've accepted my daighters new rates. @jon81 Have ypu had that message yet? Xx

Yeah they verified back in September and I had the new rates for Oct UC and this month but it had to go to a decision maker to look at the back payment to march and they said on 24/10/25 that it will be back dated and now nothing, it’s with payments and adjustments I think but not sure how long they take.

Yh I had a message but I put 8/8 and it was 9/8 it was awarded from so had to do change again lol you have to write a msg in jornel to ask them to backdate it xxx

They haven't even replied about the backdating so hopefully they sort it out. I've seen it takes up to 3 months anyways x

How much is it if your child get high rate from uc do you know xxx
