    I got one weeks payment today, absolutely over the moon. My app was registered on 16th Nov, so you guys should be soon. Anyone know when arrears come thru?, although I'm not too worried, just delighted to know Il have money coming in every week and we can start to get on top of some of these bills. We will use back payment to pay off some arrears owed on our mortgage, keep the bank off our backs for a while :D:)

    It usually goes out with the first/second payment unless there is arrears to be held to pay back the health board or other DSP schemes.If there is money to be held to repay other schemes it can take longer.Majority of claims it within 2 payments.

    My Hubby rang yesterday and was told they are now dealing with 19th November claims - it was 18th Nov claimants for the last 2 weeks.. Looks like we could be waiting another few weeks... Got our daughters confirmation on 28th, was really hoping we would have it here by then as money is so tight at the moment. Not looking hopeful now :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,556 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    They are working on 23/11/11 claims.Any other info is wrong.

    Oh your kidding me? They told my hubby yesterday they were dealing with 23rd November claims.. We have confirmation next week and really hoping to have it by then.. Not looking good though :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 23 Liz23


    Just wondering does anybody know how long a claim that has been granted, will be with a senior official to write off on??

    It has been there since the 11th,
    looks like payment will not be processed for this week agin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    We applied for FIS at the start of March, my husband as he is working and I am on Jobseekers.

    Can anyone tell me what happens if I get a job? Do I notify them? Do I wait until the claim is processed and the back date paid and then sign off? How does it work?


  • Registered Users Posts: 23 Liz23


    Goes to supervisor when over 2000. I know that's great, but looks like we all need it now. 23 weeks this week.
    Does that mean the majority of claims now have to be signed off on now? I can imagine most claims are over the threshold, Making the wait longer.

    I wouldn't think the majority goes to a supervisor.If a claim is waiting 23 weeks to be done it would mean only people awarded €87 or more per week would need to be checked.

    Anyone know are they still on the 23/11/11???

    any arrears over €2000 goes to a supervisor to be signed off.

    Ours apparantly was issued on 20th too...... only to a different account number !!!! We've had a terrible morning today between ringing the bank/fis repeatedly... They are saying the number on the application form is different to our actual bank number. My husband has had the account for years so how the wrong number was put down i do not know !!!! When he rang, he was rang was he was given the first 4 digits of the account it went to and i was given the last 4 by someone else there (data protection issues there i think).. So he rang the bank and was told its not even an account number. Now we have to wait until it "bounces back" from there to FIS until they can reissue it to us, which is going to take about 10 days !!! Im gutted - we have our daughters confirmation on sat and have nothing got for it yet as been waiting and waiting on this to come through !!!! I don't know how we are going to get through it now :confused:

    Did you put the wrong details on the application?

    They said we did - but i cant understand how we did.. My husband has had that account for years and when it was being filled in, i had his bank statement in from of me. Had the account number and straight under it the sort code.. Sort code was correct but account number was wrong. And the number they said we gave them is nothing like the account number. If i did, i really cant understand where that number came from and why i got that that wrong but sort code right !!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Guzz


    Just got thru to them there, so for anyone waiting was told they are working on 23/11/11 STILL............. i really thought theyd be further along than that.

    No harm sending it the extra payslips now because if there is any doubt about yours hours they will be looking for more information and that will slow down the process.
