Hello all
phoned today and told we are in a third queue does anyone know what that means?

looking like it will be a year since I made my original application to getting any sort of information from MR - madness!

MR 20/06 after total decline

i was told the same that mine is in ‘holding queue 3’

no idea what it means but I’m guessing there are three holding queues waiting for case workers to pick them up and look at them before making a decision.

I think most June MR dates will be January now. I’m scared of total decline again as have seen a few on Facebook say they were declined again so I’m trying to just put the whole thing out of my head.

What date are they on for new claims? Just so interesting to see how recent ones are getting processed so quick!
wanted to see if that will continue or slow now getting close to Christmas.

Does anyone know how long it’s taking forms to get there? I sent mine 2 weeks ago, called today and they’ve still not received it - don’t know if I should start filling in a new one

Im still waiting 27/08

NC
Scan date 26/11 had a letter yesterday asking for sons birth certificate so i have sent that special delivery should get there tomorrow before 1.
Has anyone else been asked for birth certificate? My friend who claims for her daughter says she was never asked for it.

Thank you lovely, I’ve just done it now hopefully I will hear something soon 🤞 I don’t mind waiting until they’ve done the review before backdating the disability element but they could atleast let me know if that is the case 🤦‍♀️

Mine took nearly 3 weeks to verify my daughter now I’m waiting for them to do a review and backdated the disability element

My scan date for my 2 year old is 25/11 and was also asked for the birth certificate. I sent mine recorded Saturday and it was delivered today.
I wasn't asked for my son when I applied a few years back. I've heard its just asked for randomly.

My son is also 2 i wonder if its to do with age.

We are close in scan dates. Goodluck in getting the right decision for your little one 🤞

Maybe, my son was older so it may be the case!
Good luck to you too🤞😀
The wait is hard but from what I can see the wait times are so much shorter now. My sons claim took 19 weeks a few years ago 😭

Waiting from 26/08 on MR so still a way to go yet I guess.

Okay thanks hun they don’t rush like do they a honestly don’t know if mine was a review it was more so asking yes no questions on my uc like hosing cost exc.. I only realised while looking through my jornal they asked me the same questions when I notified them of my oldest daughter being awarded dla

Sd 27/10 i sent my forms in totally forgot to sign the declaration they sent it back out I sent it recorderd delivery I phtotcopied my daughters birth certificate and sent it in with all the extra info my daughter was 2 and the time turned 3 end of November they were fine with that I received a text the 2nd December to say my child qualifys

I’m feeling exactly the same. Horrible feeling it will be a total decline again.
So wish I could have a decision maker spend one full day and night with my child to see the challenges she faces first hand.
i have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason. Just called and still not allocated to a case worker

Didn’t someone post an email address to complaint to? Sure I saw in this thread but can’t seems to find it now. Soooo exhausted after her being awake most of the night with anxiety over school

I think that was for universal credit.

i want to complain. I waited six months for my NC decision and now six months and waiting on MR. It’s totally ridiculous that it is taking more than a full year. Then new claims are getting done so fast :( I just feel super deflated right now and I think I’m going to declined again and I’ve just put myself through all this again for nothing.
