@Kas76 well done!!!! Your wait is finally over , sod it I’m ringing now aswel x

Shellbod81 · 04/11/2022 09:35

@sarahxdx wow July 21st and still no decision is unbelievable! At least you know it’s being looked at now
@acalli can I ask what your scan date is please?

Kas76 · 04/11/2022 09:33

Am on phone to them and got a text just now saying he qualifies. I am so happy. Staying on phone now to see what he's been awarded. Good luck to all that are still waiting. Will let you know what he's awarded. Xx

acalli · 04/11/2022 09:18

Just got off the phone. Spoke with quite a well-spoken lady who was very unhelpful. Refused to tell me if the claim was with a decision maker or not because “people start to imagine it’s sitting on someone’s desk open and it just doesn’t work like that”. Told me nothing I didn’t already know. Quite bizarre x

sarahxdx · 04/11/2022 09:08

Hi I've been watching this thread for a while now,my scan date was 21st July 😳
I had a phone call on Tuesday from the DM to ask what school my son attended because I forgot to fill that part in and I'm still waiting for a update x

acalli · 04/11/2022 09:07

Hi all, my scan date is 5th August, 13 weeks today. I ring every Friday so currently on hold. The mixed messages are unreal x

Shellbel10 · 04/11/2022 08:58

Sounds like what they telling people are very inconsistent. Very annoying

Shellbod81 · 04/11/2022 08:49

good luck to everyone waiting today , I’m gonna ring again this afternoon, not waiting until Tuesday from what I see on here that how majority are finding out as not receiving texts 🙄

Gemma96x · 04/11/2022 08:23

Kas76 · 04/11/2022 08:22

MissEllie2 · 04/11/2022 08:19

Gemma96x · 04/11/2022 08:10

Hi guys I'm 14 weeks and still getting told not even with a dm yet they told me next 2 weeks. Everytime I ring I get told different everytime so I've got no idea to be fair I don't think they know there jobs. This is frustrating 😤 just want to know yes or no. I'm at the point where I'm feeling in my stomach my son will be declined as its soo hard to get the things in life your children deserve and are entitled too 😪. But good luck every1 today X

Kas76 · 04/11/2022 07:31

Will do. X

BecLew97 · 04/11/2022 07:21

Fab let us know what they say! I will call later on this afternoon aswell x

Kas76 · 04/11/2022 07:18

Ok you've convinced me 🤣 will give them a call after school run. X

BecLew97 · 04/11/2022 07:15

@Kas76 Honestly just ring whenever you want to, I’m still calling everyday. If they didn’t want people calling everyday then they should be more accurate with wait times, we’re about to hit 14 weeks which is ridiculous, plus then don’t help by not sending texts when they guarantee to send one. It’s easy for them to tell us not to call as the outcome doesn’t affect their life in the slightest. I will be calling later on this afternoon aswell

Cazxmxp13 · 04/11/2022 07:08

yup that’s the hardest part of it the complete waiting game 😔
