I know very slow aswell I rang 3 times this month and twice I was given the 9/2 and now the 10th

I rang yesterday. One team is working on Feb, another on March. Hence the different dates. 10 - 12 weeks its taking to process claims.

Hi all, I received a letter refusing FIS, I received it last year and nothing has changed but they said that I am over by €10. I am going to appeal but I dont know what to say on letter. With levys and increases in everything we buy and my child is hopefully going to 3rd level, I am struggling as it is. Is it worth my while appealing when they have said I am over the limit.

Hi i just thought i would let those of you waiting know. We applied for the FIS on the 12th April and received our first payment yesterday 14th June.So hopefully you won't be waiting long.It was a new application not renewal. I was very suprised! Good luck to you all.;)

Wow that was fast !! Not to sound insulting but did you hound them via phone or did u have anyone pulling strings or was it a straight application ?? I suddenly see a light at end of tunnel.....

oh wow thats the fastest fis renewal in history!! we waited 6 months for ours, only got it last week! we have 3 kids and we lived on basics for months, when i got the money i was nearly half afraid to spend it i waited so long!! well done you, families shouldnt have to wait so long its not fair, kids cant understand why they cant go on day trips or why you cant pay for stuff, its a joke.
