    Every claim goes to a deciding officer,you will know the decision before the end of the week.

    Thanks for answer, fingers crossed we are entitled to a payment.

    Thanks :) they r on the 17th the last 7 days now. I'm the 24th. Hopefully it will be soon enough

    Just rang them. All I get is that they are working that date now. Won't be this week. We actually can't take anymore! I'm so upset now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,520 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    They are working on 17/11/11 and its nearly impossible to give an exact date when a persons claim will be processed because every date will have different amounts of claims.It all depends on how many people applied on that date,it could be anything between 300 to nearly 1000.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 cheyni


    We applied for FIS on 24th November and STILL waiting on a decision. My husband rang last week and was told they were on 18th Nov so should hear back soon. Today he rang to be told they were dealing with 18th Nov (?) and will be another 2-3 weeks before we hear anything !! Has anyone applied on or around the same date and recieved theirs already (It was a new claim) ??

    You poor thing. Its horrible isn't it. Waiting and not knowing. The government need to sort this mess out. Its the same every yr. The people working on applications must be so stressed

    Thanks Nasher 1982. it is a complete mess, this is supposed to help people, but actually the whole process is so stressful, the wondering and the waiting. At least coming on here you get proper information and can get some idea of what dates there on. Not sure with tomorrow being Good Friday will it be Tuesday before anything could go into my account, have to wait and see and prey :)

    Doubt it being honest. Payments r usually in the account on a Thursday. I haven't had my Fis in over a yr now. Was refused last yr because my hrs were cut to 17hrs per wk for 3wks the previous yr again.had a communion lst yr to.as a single parent it was hard. This yr my bro is getting married in santorini.can't afford to save for it.bills r paid thank God. But need Fis to see my only bro get married

    My confirmation letter was the 11th. I've been told that actually means the 17th, the following Thursday! I sure hope so. Last maternity payment went through last week. I won't get paid from work until the end of the month. So u can imagine how important this is! Payment has to come through this week!
