I’m sure I read somewhere that they were working on June for COC unless I’ve misread. It’s such a long wait especially for that. 20+ weeks xxx

Is anyone else still waiting for a decision from a scan date in July for a change of circumstances?

Feeling really stressed about money and not being able to work 😥

I've noticed from this thread some people have received decisions from later scan dates so I'm wondering what on earth is going on?! Every time I phone up they extend the waiting time for a decision further than the last time I phoned and say it's bit yet assigned to a decision maker.

@Claire288 Oh that’s awful! Feels like you’re waiting even longer! X

Claire288 · 19/11/2022 20:02

@Lozzaaaaa 13th I originally sent the first form off on the 3rd August, but it got lost so had to get a new one and fill it all out again. X

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 19:48

@LucasMummy88 Ah I did this it might be with the name, I haven’t met another Luca Mummy before. I honestly feel like it’s pot luck and who you get looking at your case going by these feeds! Praying for you to lovely x fingers crossed!!

LucasMummy88 · 19/11/2022 19:41

His name is Luca as well @Lozzaaaaa :)
I don’t think that I will be awarded, he’s only 2.5 & I’ve heard that it’s extremely difficult to get awarded for under 5’s. I’ve included quite a bit of evidence but probably not enough. Fingers crossed though. Praying for good news for you x

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 19:30

@LucasMummy88 Yeah I think it’s going to be nearer Xmas for a decision. I have a bad feeling and I hope I am wrong. Is your child Lucas or Luca? Just looking at your name. Mines is Luca x

Shellbel10 · 19/11/2022 18:57

my scan date the 16th still not heard anything but am also reluctant to call as feel it could be bad news

Meli3 · 19/11/2022 18:32

Not seen very many updates today, feel like I'm going to be waiting another week or 2. Good luck for the week coming up to anyone who has not heard anything yet. X

Mummytolucia · 19/11/2022 18:00

I'm the 21st sept 13 weeks is around 20th December really stressful the worry of waiting I feel like we've sent more than enough evidence and school where brilliant writing on the form about my daughters struggles and being truthful about how she can be a danger to herself and others. We also sent Ed psychologist reports and adhd diagnosis etc

Emmamorg · 19/11/2022 17:55

I'm the 17th August to this wait is to long 😅 it's so stressful waiting I rang on weds and was told another week but they said that the last 3 weeks 😂

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 17:37

@Mrsamandac congrats 🥰

Mrsamandac · 19/11/2022 16:46

My scan date was 10/08 and just had money in my bank yesterday. It was a 14 week looooong wait for me. No idea what my DS has been awarded as no text or letter yet.

LucasMummy88 · 19/11/2022 16:26

I’m the 15th September. The wait is gruelling. I’m expecting a decision will probably be just before Christmas. I’m hoping you all get good news x

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 14:41

@Claire288 Which date? I’m the 17th. The waiting is horrible

Claire288 · 19/11/2022 14:39

@Lozzaaaaa I'm September too

MissEllie2 · 19/11/2022 14:37

@skylarkserenade Thats great news 🥰 x

skylarkserenade · 19/11/2022 14:13

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while! My scan date was 17th August, they just rang me about a question I'd missed and said a decision will be made today. He said he's definitely awarding something but wouldn't say what rate til he's made his decision

Lozzaaaaa · 19/11/2022 14:07

Is any ones scan date September for a new claim? Just seeing who’s with me lol

parsniiips · 19/11/2022 12:33

dandymum · 19/11/2022 06:32

A change of circumstances

Shellbel10 · 19/11/2022 11:59
