The other thread's been archived. Has anyone here applied? I applied a week ago but haven't heard anything yet. I know it's a slow process and record numbers have applied, I'm not expecting a cheque through the door, but I thought I might have had an email or something to confirm my application had been received.

if your application is complete, you should have arranged an identification interview, by phone.

Have you checked your journal? 

Have you tried the phone? 

It was a bit of an effort but my son has now been assessed for first payment end April after a phone interview  was scheduled by DWP to go through his application

In reply to aln:

I applied a few weeks ago and then got a text saying my identity has been approved and I'll be receiving a payment on the 5th May. I haven't spoken to them and I don't know how much I'll be getting.

If you're desperate for the money you can send a message through your journal and they seem to be quick at replying so you can get an advance

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the journal etc and try phoning.

How soon after applying did you receive the text?

In reply to aln:

I filled in my details on 27th March and got the text on 2nd April.

Thanks. They phoned me yesterday for the identity confirmation. The decision on payment will be 8th May.

Good luck, they do seem to be particularly shit, they've f*cked my son's application up twice now, end of May he's been told. It's a good job we can bail him out there wise he'd be out on the street starving.
