So happy for you🥰. Thats so quick to get a decision😊 im hoping im not waiting to long on my twins decsions, they only just recieved them this week on tuesday the 10th. Did you get a message to say that it was with a DM x

Thank you, so happy 😊 hope you dont have to wait too long, they are getting through them so much quicker. No, I didn't get a text, I had called up just to check x

I have seen a few NC since last year being done so quick. When i done my eldest first claim in 2023 i waited almost 18 weeks, so happy they are getting through them quicker 🥰x

Yeah I claimed for my eldest in 2024 and that was 17 weeks x

renewal due end of march. Sent off and they scanned it dec 29th. Just had a payment come. Works out hrc and lrm from Mrc and lrm. Now to wait for the letter to see how long for.

So happy for you. My son had his renewal last april 2024 and he rewarded the same hrc and lrm from mrc and lrm. He was awarded just over 5 years till the day before his 12th birthday x

Sorry i meant 2025 x

Thank you. I hope he gets it for quite a while. Tempted to ring up tomorrow.

Yeah defo give them a call they will let you know over the phone x

We have been renewed till April 2031. I am chuffed to say the least. One less thing to worry about.

Im over the moon for you🥰

Hey everyone, been following for a while now. I put in a NC for my son, SD 5th Jan 26. I’ve just spoken to DLA & I was told I can’t be given a time frame but he asked me a ton of questions including my sons doctors name which he said does not match what they have on the system? I’m confused, does this mean they’ve spoken to his doctors surgery? I wrote on the form the same name I gave over the phone but apparently this was incorrect? Huh??

Hi everyone new claim date was 9/01 just called to ask if I had time to send in a sleep
diary but she said that a decision has already made but wouldn’t tell me I’m dying to know what my daughter was awarded😩

Call back with options 1 5 1 4. I'm on hold now to see about my mr. Been with the dm for 9 days 🤞🙈

Aw you a life saver thanks I’ll do that now! Fingers crossed for you! Xx @MrsBoo8888

Thanks good luck let us know 🤞 still on hold I had to hang up and call back lol

Yeah I will do,you too! Same I’m still on hold think it’s going to be a while before they answer lol @MrsBoo8888

Just got through and still with the dm 😩 I'm going to go insane arghh lol. 29 weeks since the mr on Monday, just over a year from his scan date. Good luck I was on hold for 20 minutes

Oh no I’m so sorry I know the wait is just horrible and so anxiety inducing! I hope you get some good news though, I just got through and found out that my daughter was awarded middle rate care so I’m really happy x @MrsBoo8888

Hi,
Is anyone still waiting on August 2025, I requested MR on 12th August 2025 and send loads of evidence the following week which they confirmed they received.
my original scan date was 21st May 2025 x

Aww congratulations that's brilliant! Glad your child was awarded ❤️

Anyone had any updates on how long universal credit are taking? I requested my backdating 2 weeks ago and they’ve verified my child but not heard anything else. Doing my head in! 🫣

Hi everyone does anyone know if the scan date is the day they recieved the forms? I sent my twins forms of on the 9th of feb and recived conformation on the 10th, would the 10th be the scan date?x

My child was verified on 29th and I’m still waiting too, they don’t like to hurry

Yeah it would be the 10th
