Hi my partner has been waiting just over 6 weeks and not heard back from carers allowance yet. Is it worth him giving them a call for a update just to see where we are at?
The last time he spoke to them they said we was with a assessor and that was about 10 days ago
thanks
thanks

Hi I was waiting 13 weeks. Called after 6 weeks, then Called every week. Was told every time was with decision maker. Was all backed.

Hi my partner just phoned them and the women took details and asked him some questions and said she’s going to try get us a decision today or tomorrow so we should expect a letter in a week.So I suppose we will just see as I know it might take them longer

After the last call was about a week later. Money was in the bank.
