hey guys just got my fis payment in my account today no back pay waiting since the 29th of march !

Very confusing as I rang yesterday and they told me they dealing with new applicants dated 10th march . Delighted you are sorted . I'm 13th May so still have a long way to go ....

Also confused, our acknowledgement letter is dated the 23rd March. Was hopeful to receive a payment yesterday based on posts above. No payment so I rang & was told they are on mid-march & it will be another 3-4wks before ours is processed!

Hi there I was waiting since 31/1. Was with social welfare inspector for about 8 weeks. She called out to my place of work to clarify a few matters. My husband was self employed and had his own business so she asked for last yrs accounts. Sent them on and explained he has not worked since Nov 2011 ( he is a carpenter) etc.
We received a reply last week to say we were refused as were over the earnings. Mine was fine as I work 20 hrs but they took all the directors wages from my husbands accounts of last year and not his only, not only that they had grossed it.

I have appealed this as the figures are incorrect and have sent p60's.

Can anybody clarify why they take my dh wages from last yr as it is this yr we have no wages hence we applied for fis, also I thought they worked off net wage, they did on my wage calculation. And lastly do you have to wait long to get an answer to your appeal? 6 months now and struggling.

Thank you

If he hasnt worked since Nov 11 has he deregisterd ?If he has then send in the letter from revenue with your appeal.The appeals office are extremly slow.
As for the figures taken that would have been given to FIS by the inspector in their report maybe contact the inspector regarding the figues and aslo have any info you think will help your case,might stop it going for a full appeal.

Hi I sent my application in June was just wondering how long does it take to get aletter to say they have received it

PixieDixie

Hi, I rang on Monday. Mine is a new application dated the 26th March and they told me they are on mid march and that mine will be about another 2 weeks.
i don't know where all these other dates about them being on end of March and April for new claims are coming from. the guy I spoke to in FIS was adament that they were only mid march and haven't touched any new claims further than that date.
After reading some of the comments up here about getting claims that were dated end March etc I was sure my claim would be processed any day and was checking my bank constantly and then was constantly disappointed. Better off just ringing (and holding!) to find out exactly the date.

You should get a confirmation letter within 2 weeks at the latest.

Pixie Dixie my letter is dated the 26th of March too, I think people are responding with renewals dates and causing confusion (and disappointment) as I am like you checking my account daily. I rang at the start of last week and was told 3-4 weeks so that would be consistent with what you were told. I have also counted the weeks and for us 20 weeks is the week of August 13th which is 2 weeks time.

LegacyUser

does anyone know what date they are on??? is the minimum waiting time 20 weeks????

Gealach

I tried phoning earlier but didn't get through, does anyone have an update as to what date they are on for first time claims?

amygal

Rang on monday, our date is the 24th april, told me it would be in the next week or 2, its a new claim, rang last week and was told 2-3 weeks

whats_happenin

I'm still waiting and I'm the 23/2 had to send more info back and every time I ring I get told soon anyone know how long soon is
