Congrats @Mrsamandac and @georgiesmuma, great news!

Just got off the phone with them- no guarantees but the gentleman I spoke to said they'd expect a decision within the next week. He said it hadn't been allocated to a decision maker yet, but it's been marked to go for a decision.

He did also mention that it may be worked on over the weekend, so it sounds like some areas might be doing overtime this weekend. The waiting is horrible!

She couldn't tell me I would assume with what she said as it's withing the 13week bracket and apologised to me that it's in a pile for the DM x

MissEllie2 · 18/11/2022 11:09

@Meli3 they have all my extra evidence scanned but it is not with a DM yet. Said should have an answer by the end of next week 😊

Hiya all I've just called and the lovely lady said "it is where it should be" don't know what this means but hopefully it isn't too long now
