    me too. And another loooong week ahead. To top it all - my car died on me 2 days ago. Now I depend even more on the friends I already owe so much.
    :rolleyes:

    Keep us posted, my date is the 18th of April and it can't come quick enough, finding it very hard

    Can you claim supplentary allowance while you wait?? Or can you claim job seekers for the days you dont work? Just not sure how I will cope when my claim is up for review...

    Thanks

    just rang them my renewal date was 11th april. they told me they are dealing with 23rd march so itll be 3-4 weeks more

    OMG I didn't realise the waiting time was so long - ours is up for renewal this week but we sent in the form a few weeks ago and received confirmation of this last week.

    Last year we were just given the same rate without being reviewed as the waiting time was so long and our circumstances hadn't changed but that still took 8 weeks.

  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭aileach


    My letter said that the FIS would stop on 27 June, does that mean that my last date of payment would have been last thursday 21 June? No money in the bank today :( I thought that the last payment until the renewal goes through would be today?

    So sorry to hear that the waiting time is so long, I hope you got your payment today yammy mammy

    Your last payment was the 21/6/12 and you would be paid up until the 27/6/12.Always ends on a wednesday.

    I went to cwo and she organised money for me which I collect in the post office on Friday mornings. It's €106 less than what I'd get on Fis but better than nothing. My Fis finished the 24th on may and I'm struggling already. Going to be a long hard road till August/September.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 cara11


    I'm 15/03 and nothing in today. Anyone else on 15/03 not get theirs??? And another week of hope ahead...:rolleyes:

    Hi , thanks I got my money and the back money today, so happy about it!paid the rent and car insurance, i am sooo happy, i hope you all will get it soon, I was waiting 15 weeks since my last payment,..


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭aileach


    I'm so glad you got it yammy mammy :) (My car and house insurances are due at the end of next week - bad planning there, I wish I could change the renewal date for at least one of them)

    Were you waiting 15 weeks from the date you reapplied or from the date of your last payment?

    Oops just noticed that you said from last payment yammy mammy - thanks for that update. 15 weeks brings me to the beginning of October :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭aileach


    does anyone know if the waiting time has reduced at all?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 lisaos


    Rang on the 25th june and they were on the 23rd March anyone else any up dates, i'm the 18th of April so 12 weeks since last payment :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 cara11


    Hi, I am 15/03 and just got a letter last week saying they need me to fill in another form to proceed with my claim. All the information I have to fill in was already on my form that I filled in in March (I checked as I always copy everything). :( Not sure why that is but at least it seems they are working on it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 lisaos


    has any of your details changed in last 12 months, some dated 15th have theirs and they told me theyere working on 23rd ,which was a week and a half ago


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 cara11


    I know. No, nothing has changed but since the place where I work closed for 3 months in Winter, I wasn't allowed to just do a renewal but had to fill in a complete NEW claim (16 pages!). This is now every year the same. I stop getting payments in December, re-apply in March and it takes till August to get some Money. Only to lose it again in December for the next 7-8 months. :( I wished, it would be possible to just do the normal renewal paper.:cool:

    The letter they sent is strange: I have to complete a form at the items marked "X". The form they returned however is Part 3 to be filled in by my employer and there is not one thing marked with an "X" at all. I assume my employer has to fill in how much i earned as in March they filled in zero everywhere because I just started working again then. But why did they send this to me and not to my employer? I can't fill in anything there. I wonder was it a mixup, did my employer get the form I am supposed to fill in instead? Our payroll admin is on holidays - so I can't do anything. Another delay....

    Any one any idea what date they are processing at the moment. Have tried ringing a couple of times but phone is just ringing out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 lisaos


    Got through this morning on the 29th march, told me three weeks for mine, my renewal is 18th April


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Glyni


    They are only a week further than when I last got through to them nearly 3 weeks ago. If its taking 3 weeks for them to do each week it'll be another 6 weeks before they get to me. I'm 12th April. waiting times seem to be getting longer not shorter :(
