    Your husband is foolish not to go to cwo for the money. He only has to go once. The money is paid into the post office and can be collected between Friday and Monday each week until Fis is settled. I couldn't do without it tbh. It's €106 less than my Fis entitlement and I'm missing that a lot at this stage.

    He should go to the community welfare officer, at least it would take the pressure off until the FIS is sorted.

    Got my money last week, finally. But the amount is 10 Euro short due to my one parent family payment. I handed in my claim on 13th of March and a week later my one parent payment was reduced because I went back to work. I even noted on the claim form, that this amount is going to be reduced but since I didn't know of how much, I couldn't write in a lower figure (always afraid because of the sentence about false statements etc.) Do you think I would stand a chance writing to the Appeals Officer or would it be enough ringing the FIS section? I was sure that all Welfare departments are checking the figures and they would see how much it actually is before I would. After all - it took 4 months to process the claim.

    Has anyone an advice what I should do or is there nothing I can do. 10 Euro means 520 Euros over the full year - a fortune!:confused:

    I reckon they might take a look at your claim again but it is set from the renewal date of application so it would be up to FIS to give it to you.you dont really have any grounds to appeal,as FIS have followed the rules.Give FIS a ring and talk to the person who did your claim and see is there anything that can be done.They might consider it but I dont think there is any way you would win an appeal.

    they have a set of rules/guidelines so it shouldnt really make any difference who processes it.could have something to do with changes in your tax or usc ,only guessing but there would be a reason how they got that figure.

    FIS renewals are paid into bank accounts on a Thursday.Depending on your PPSN it might not be processed yet.They are done in numerical order.

    Normally paid on a Thursday thought it was strange it's there today but not complaining. Maybe their paying them in all week long due to the backlog I know of some else who got theirs on a Monday. Hopefully yours will be there tomorow.

    The first payment after a claim is renewed/processed can go any day of the week and it is always a Thursday after that.Same for a first time application,first payment can issue any working day and always a Thursday from then onwards.
    Nothing to do with backlogs.
