Congratulations everyone who has been awarded 🥳 We’re 12/07. Is it 5pm they close? Just trying to work out if it’s worth ringing now for an update or if they’ll just cut me off when they close?

Smallhall100 · 09/11/2023 16:10

I’m still waiting… scan date 6/7, last text 2/10
Just trying to call now - I kept getting cut off when I tried earlier. I called last Monday and was told 10 days so I’ve waited until now but seeing a few with the same dates as me get awarded I’m hoping there’s some news.

DS has just started a new school and his needs have really ramped up - I’m hoping he gets awarded based on my original form but if not I want to start prepping for MR.
