Hi just wanted to update for those who have put in new claims. Mine was a NC, Scan Date was 29/10, decision was made yesterday. He has been awarded middle rate care and low rate mobility till 2027. Just under 4 weeks start to finish, chuffed ☺️

Congratulations that’s great, so happy for you😊, atleast that takes the stress of a bit over the next couple weeks X

So happy to hear hun mine sd is the 27/10 I haven’t heard anything yet I don’t like ringing as everytime I have there quite rude lol

Just updated Uc .... wonder how long that will take :-/

Any other COC waiting from April and May?X

Congratulations so happy for you and your child! Xx

I rang today and waited till option 4 (all other enquiries) and the lady I got was so lovely! I’d keep chancing it as I strongly believe it depends on who you get through to- whether or not they tell you anything! Good luck to everyone else ❤️

Is it best to press option 1.5.1.4

I’ve done option 1.5.1.4 am on hold at the min I hate ringing gives me anxiety lol 😂

Does anyone know the uc wait times for verifying and then back dating?

Did you manage to get an answer my NC SD is the 28th August and am still waiting scared to call 😅

Yeah still in an assignment que🙄 I hate ringing some of them are so cheeky really omg I waited 7 months last year then I see people’s done in 4 weeks seen 5 people with a sd after mine done x

What was your sd?

27/10

I’m also interested to know this, did you call up and ask for it to be back dated or did you do it through your journal online? X

Congratulations 🙌 I’m still waiting for my daughters to be verified, 2 weeks today 🙄 I sent them message today asking if it had been verified and they just said it’s with a specialist to verify and they will contact me when it’s completed.

Are you still waiting? 🤯

So not anytime soon then lol

I did the change online ans put a note on my journal x

Yeah😥 there was a muck up on my claim, with it originally being an MR for late evidence and they where the ones that sent it to the COC team they where supposed to contact me and tell me to fill out the COC form but they would keep my evidence from the mr but they didn’t , they needed all the changes on a COC form but I’ve called over a handful of times since May and they never mentioned this so when I called on Monday they said I had to get the form in asap or the DM wouldn’t be able to make a decision but it was a big stress because they didn’t know if it would restart my COC all over again but I spoke to a case manager and he assured it wouldn’t so thank god for that so I’m just waiting on it going to a DM, they can’t give me a time frame, the women I spoke to said it could be months or tomorrow but I’ve called and they’ve received the forms so just a waiting game as usual🙈

I'm still waiting x

😞 I am shocked, you’ve been waiting ages the least they could have done was to notify you that they needed you to fill out the COC form 🤦‍♀️ especially seen as they are the ones that changed it from MR. I hope your not waiting to long, the wait is to stressful! Hopefully they’ve received it and will make a decision 🤞 good luck

I’m so glad I called on Monday as I normally call on a Friday and that the call handler caught it because I don’t know what would have happened if it was with a decision maker this week🙈 I was 29 weeks yesterday so just hoping it’s done by Christmas but I did put the mr in on March 13th so it feels like the wait is never ending😥X
