So I got my acceptance letter for AISH dated September 22nd. I did have to email them my notice of assessment which I did and was confirmed it was received on September 24th. So I've met all my obligations and in the letter it says my file has been sent to the south zone commencement team to set up a meeting to start AISH benefits. I did call last Thursday just making sure they got my NOA when I sent it and they as i said confirmed they did and that someone should be calling me within a week. Its now been a week.

Just wondering how long this has taken for others to hear from them after getting their letters? Should I call the processing center and bug them again? I habe terrible anxiety (one of the main reasons I got acceptance) and I feel like calling them is rocking the boat or something.

honestly don't know if i dreamt this or not. last night, i swear i saw post about someone saying about an increase coming in the news year.

did i see this? or am i making it up. if so, anyone know what their sources were? nothing about an increase comes up on a google search.

weird post, i know.

How long after your commencement call do you get your back pay? Or is there a specific day in the month

My first payment seems to be held up. AISH says they've tried to send it to my bank account a couple times and says my bank keeps refusing, while my bank says there is no direct deposit history. Been two weeks.

I'm lucky that this is just annoying but made me curious what's your horror story? How did it get resolved?

Silver lining: I get to test out my new phone batteries and see which lasts longer the battery or being on hold. :)

Update: New battery WON!
