FIS for the second time-waiting time still 20 weeks?Mod warning post 437

They seem to be on top of it this year, we got our letter this morning to say we will have payment this week. If that happens we had no break in payments as our renewal is the 11th.

our break point is 18th, im hoping for a letter this week!!

Fis renewals are 2 weeks behind. Got through to them yesterday. Due payment today....looks like I will have to wait!!
I hope they are not slowly slipping back into the old ways of waiting 4 months for renewals. Last years wait was torture. :-(

Mine renewal was today as well, hope it's only a couple of weeks. I was waiting til March last year

bluestrawberry · 26-09-2013 1:27pm

Yes it definitely only a two week delay. It was Christmas week last year when I got mine. I don't mind a week or two of a wait but when it goes into months it gets stressful! I will ring again next week and post here again.

Just got my renewal letter, last payment was 19/9/13. First payment tomorrow, arrears to follow shortly

3 Weeks behind now, that's worrying..

overthepond · 10-10-2013 2:50pm

We are still waiting. First applied in July

Hi All, I've sent my renewal form last week, my renewal date was 11th sept but due to a change in work circumstances around the same time had let it lapse, waiting on new payslips etc. Really hoping they will not take too long, anyone waiting over two/three weeks for renewals?

Akrasia · 14-10-2013 8:52am

My renewal was 2nd of October and I just got a call from my wife saying the letter has arrived, they've processed the renewal so the payment should be in on Thursday.

2 weeks delay isn't too bad. Last year I was waiting until January (christmas was almost cancelled)

GillK · 14-10-2013 4:21pm

That"s great, two, three weeks I can cope with, anymore will be big stretch. I was the same last year, waiting til Feb, xmas v. stressful.

elliebn · 17-10-2013 2:45pm

Just to confirm what everyone has said, my renewal was 3rd October, got a letter yesterday to say that the first payment would be in the bank today and arrears would follow. The full 3 weeks were there, so happy we didn't have to wait months like previous years

jca · 17-10-2013 7:23pm

Its getting worrying now, a 3week delay. I hope it won't be back to months by next may.

LegacyUser · 17-10-2013 7:58pm

It will be back to approx 1 week delay by the end of next week.September/October is probably the busiest period for processing FIS.

I applied the 7th of September and we missed one payment. It was so quick. Just have all your paperwork. I can't speak for current wait time.

Minicopper · 01-11-2013 1:59pm

Got my letter this morning to say my money was in the bank and all!!! Didn't even miss a payment!!!!

How long is the waiting list for family income supplement renewal.

does anyone know how is FIS calculated for second time application, ?? since I have applied initially my salary had increased for a period of 6 months , I did take more hours to cover for a maternity leave, FIS payment has not changed because of that, now I 'm back part time, and my FIS is due for renewal, so I'm on low wage again, and sending in for renewal, how is it going to be calculated, I need to send in my P60.

Thanks in advance

They will base it on your 2013 P60.

They usually calculate your weekly income on your P60 divided by 52 if your income varied over the year.

Mine was up today and I sent in my renewal over a month ago. I rang them on Tuesday and she said mine hadn't been looked at yet and that I'd be waiting a few weeks. Hopefully it won't be too long!!
