the social welfare inspector called to me yesterday, he was lovely

he's sending the form off to Longford today so he said to keep an eye on the post the end of this week start of next week and to check my bank on a Thursday..shouldn't be too much longer now

Most likely be next week before you get anything if he is only posting it today.It takes 2 days to go into the bank from the date they award it.It will be in your account before you get the letter.

Same here had calls from private number last Friday evening but I never answer to private number , have me wondering now.............

unless they were ringing from their mobile it wouldnt be a blocked number.I don't think anyone in DSP has blocked numbers on landline.Its usually shows up as the building number so people dont have the direct line to the person they are dealing with.

no i didnt get any phone call in advance, i was in work as he called yesterday morning, my husband told him i was in work until 1 so he said no problem he would call back at 2.30pm..he was back at 2.30pm on the button and was really nice..he was gone by 3pm wasn't here long at all..just a relief now it's all getting sorted

Just rang and they are still on 31/1/12

I just checked my bank this morning and 1 weeks money went in ( was dated 28/05/12 so I assume it's every Monday I will get it?

I'm surprised at the speed it came through now as the inspector only came out to me on Monday

How long does it take for the arrears to come through does anyone know?

Thanks all, so happy it's finally arrived it's been a long long 6 months:)

This has probably been covered on here already but I can't find it. Can someone tell me what the actual process is for FIS? My application and details have been in since March and I received an acknowledgment letter dated the 31st March 2012.
When they eventually (:rolleyes:) reach my application what is the process they follow? Is it assessed just on the application and evidence I have given them and I get an award letter in post or does an inspector or somebody contact me too? Sorry I really haven't a clue so any info would be very welcome!!
Thanks

If the applicant or spouse/partner is self employed that application will always go to an inspector the first time they apply.Its the same for people who have income from rental properties,farming or employed by relatives.
They usually wouldn't be sent to an inspector again for a few years.

After that there is a certain percentage that are sent for other reasons.

amybee I'm sorry but I can't make head nor tail of the last line of your post.
Please do not use txt speak on this forum - it makes your posts harder to read, and may mean you get less answers to your questions as they cannot be understood.

I thought to quallfy for fis the least hours u can work is 19 so that would add up to 76 hours a month so how is that I am the same work 19 a week but my claim has been sent to social welfare inspector

cee_jay

19 hours a week does not equal 76 hours a month.
19 hours a week -> 19x52weeks = 988 (number of hours a year).
Number of hours a month = 988/12 = 82.33.

76hrs per month is not enough. You must be multiplying 19hrs x 4weeks = 76. There are 4 weeks and 3 days in most months. you need to be working 82.33 hrs per month to qualify.

You must be working 82.33hrs per month to qualify . 76hrs is only a 4 week calculation

Its usually done within the first 2 payments unless there is a hold up with a another payment.FIS are probably waiting to hear back from a CWO/another DSP
scheme.
If there is no other scheme you or your spouse are on ,I would ring them
today.
