That's not possible.Your renewal date is the next day after your expiry date. Everyone's claim ends on a Wednesday and the renewal date is the next day ie. Thursday Feb 16th

Have just double checked letter from FIS office my claim ends on 15th of Feb and renewal form is due in by 12th March

Your claim finishes on the 15th and DSP are giving you until 12th March to send in your renewal,if you dont have it in by then they will close off your claim and when you do send in the form it would only be awarded from a current date and would be looked at as a first time claim.
Your last payment was the 9/2/12 and you should receive your payment again in May.

They will only pay from the date the application is received in the department.Complete the application without the employers part completed and write a cover note stating you will forward all the information in 4 weeks.
Make a photocopy of the employer sections so you will have it to get it completed after the 4 weeks.

Anyone who's expiry date was the 23/11/11,their renewal date is the 24/11/11 and they are processing those claims at the moment.

Thanks Kristine. I was just about to phone them but checked here first. My renewal is a week after yours so I'll leave it until next week to give them a ring.

assasins creed · 24-02-2012 6:23pm

so thats about a 13 week wait including christmas. much better than the 20 weeks i had heard.

im feb renewal so ill have it in may. we are monthly paid so this money was always our only weekly money. long months without it.

i really think the fis department needs a review to see about getting them more staff and going back to the years that we got it back within a month.

Rather than start a whole new thread on this issue, I thought I'd ask those who you who are up to speed on FIS about this issue.
My brother was told to apply for FIS, although he is about 10e over their threshold. He is in a low paid job and has 2 kids. He's been told to 'apply anyway' even though on paper, he earns 10e per week more than the FIS limits.

Is it worth his while applying? Are their limits determined exactly, or are they in any way flexible for applicants like my brother? Thanks alot.

there is no flexibility.if he is over by any amount he's gone.Its done on net pay.
€612 isn't exactly a low paid job

Maybe not today - but he was earning over 800pw in the same job just over a year ago. Anyway, thanks for info.

Is 612 euro his pay before tax etc? If not and his take home pay is less than 602 he should qualify for something.

It would mean it just has to be signed off by a supervisor.

The Mountie · 12-03-2012 11:47pm

Wondering if anyone can clear up a query I have. I applied for FIS and received a letter to say that it would go to the deciding officer. Is there an inspection of some kind, of my apartment, bank details etc and if so how thourough is it...?

Sorry to ask, just very unsure of all this.

normally u will will asked to meet with the inspector at an office. they must have some questions for u. dont worry we had this our first year. it was barely ten mins in the office with the inspector.

it will delay ur claim. enquire with your local office about the waiting times.

Can you contact whoever you owe for the bills? My main two outgoings are rent and Credit Union car loan. Luckily I have an understanding landlord so explained situation to him and paid him what I could while I was waiting and paid him whatever I owed him when payment came through. I telephoned the Credit Union as soon as I reapplied for FIS and they had no problem reducing the payments there until I got sorted.

mum37 · 14-03-2012 10:12am

well i have large morgage, and i dont think banks r so understanding and credit union loan which is small tg:(

The majority of FIS claims don't go to a inspector and you dont need to do anything after you send in all the required info when you apply.

A deciding officer is the person in the FIS office who will be doing the calculations on the application,totally different to a inspector.

I wouldnt bother going in to the Local Office,its handier to ring FIS than wasting time going into LO,as they will just end up ringing FIS anyway.

maple999 · 15-03-2012 8:26am

Did get my Fis today. My renewal date was 29th of December.

yabadabado · 15-03-2012 3:08pm

They are now processing claims with a renewal date of 5/1/12.

madelaine2905 · 16-03-2012 11:12pm

Hi, maybe sb will be able to help me. My partner applied for fis in Mar 2009 mentioning about one child, that was living with us while the second one is living in another country with her mother. They are divorced. Today we found out that he may mention about 2 qualified children. He didn't qualify for fis, but he would get into the higher minimum income for 2 kids. We are going to apply again. Is there any chance to get a back-dated payment due to this incorrect information, that has been submitted? He was actually entitled to fis, but he didn't know that.

He won't get paid for 2 children,only 1 child is living with him.

Hi Busymom31, i'm the same week as you but was just thinking it might take an extra week on account of the Easter holidays. Their offices will be closed from Thursday 5th April until Wednesday 11th April, that might hold things up a week.

theflash · 22-03-2012 2:00pm

antodevo. waiting since nov 20th,anyone know has nov lot been sorted yet.

My application(1st time) went in on the 10th nov and i got my first payment on 16th march last week. say it will be in the next week or two for you.

Does anyone know when i should expect my backdated money? I received my second payment today and it wasn't with that.
