    I applied March 2021: they said they lost my claim form and then found it June 2021. They accepted the claim and said they sent to assessment people. They said it would take 12 weeks  . It didn’t reach them . I called again October and it had got stuck on the system . So they sent it again . I had my assessment 18 jan 22 , the next day I received a text to say the case manager had received the report and I would here something within 8 weeks . 
    My question is if the claim is awarded will it get back dated till the date I requested the form (March) or from June when they accepted the claim ? X

    @treborsenoj my husbands review took 8 months; our area is a waiting game.

    @treborsenoj 💯 that’s why it’s important that we read, and keep reading these threads. Keeps everything into perspective. X

    Hi I applied for my son at the end of August/start of September. I know my report is with the assessor and I’ve had a copy. I haven’t had any contact to say they have all they need so not sure if they need to do any more. When I asked for my report they told me a decision takes 4-6 weeks.

    @Tiredmum42 I guess it’s a sit and wait like most members. Let me know how you get on. Have a great day

    @bluelagoon mine took 5 days - remember it’s just a recommendation

    I plucked courage up to call for an update. Waited 40 mins and spoke with an advisor. He said it’s with the DM and they should have have made a decision in the next few days, he went on to say “however, the decision letter can take 1-2 weeks to arrive. That’s on par with what they told me of 2-4 weeks when I last rang.

    They advise up to 10 working days, so that takes you to the 9th of Feb but then factor in postal delays. However, hopefully it arrives sooner.

    You spoke to an outsourced contact centre, not DWP remember so take what they say with a pinch of salt. It may be with a DM but factor in the DMs workload etc. a few days is optimistic to say the least. 

    If awarded, backpay tends to go into your bank before you receive the decision letter.

    Hi  to answer Bianca, my report arrived within 2 days which was a surprise as they told me 5-10 days. 
    @treborsenoj glad to hear that things are moving along for you now. Fingers crossed.

    Good morning @treborsenoj received the standard text message this morning confirming receipt of written report.  

    I won’t be asking for a copy of the report unless it’s absolutely necessary.

    Try to keep yourself busy. X

    @niknak7278 sometimes seeing the report can cause further anxiety. It’s a sit and wait game now. Keep me posted. Have a lovely day :)
