good to see the new thread up and running. checking tomorrow that they've signed for my son's review forms

Shezza8507 · 07/11/2023 13:18

@Tmxx I will do

LollyRiv · 07/11/2023 13:14

Thanks for the new thread 💛

Scan date 21/07
1st text 25/09
2nd text 16/10

Rang earlier for the first time and the gentleman said new claims are taking approximately 18 weeks to be allocated.
I asked if I could be text once a decision has been made and he explained that not all DM can send text's as they hybrid work and don't always have the facility to send a message.

I'm not expecting to hear anything for a for few weeks yet by listening to everyone else.

Good luck to those waiting for news 🤞.

@Billie1993 I know its so weird how we're all the same date and yet getting told 2 different things I was thinking maybe ots to do with areas but I just don't know? Might call back Friday see what they say?

Asdmummyhere · 07/11/2023 13:03

@Jaysworld I would also like to know this. I've seen people mention case manager and decision maker but not sure if they're the same? Did you send evidence on both sides of a piece of paper? I'm worried they won't scan the back of my last bit of evidence which shows his development age so won't take that into account xx

Mummyrach13 · 07/11/2023 13:00

These posts really helped me @Billie1993 and kept me Sane through anxious times.

it’s also nice to talk to mummies going through similar things!
Im routing for you to get your decisions. Xx

Jaysworld · 07/11/2023 12:58

Does anybody know if it goes through different people for other checks before reaching the decision maker? I’m not sure how it works 🙈 or is it just scanned and then sat until a decision maker reads through it for the first time? My application was about 100 pages long 🤣 they are really long forms, no wonder it takes so long! My scan date was 5/7 and I received a text on 2/10, good luck to everyone!x

Thanks for the new thread 😊 has anyone put in a claim for adhd if so what evidence did you use? I'm panicking I've not sent enough.

Scan date 6/7. Hadn't even been allocated when I called yesterday so I'll leave til end of the week to call again because the DM will need time to review it when they get it anyway!

@TheClassicCollection I called this morning, it's with a dm but wasn't given a time scale on how long for a decision. Last Thursday I was told 2 weeks to be allocated xx

Do you reckon we'll have an answer by Thursday?

I'm planning on calling on Friday if I don't get a text by then!

You’re welcome @Asdmummyhere @Jneill2021 @Tmxx

my scan date is 12/7 on hold to them now as seen in thread 18 that they have said two different things to two different people so I thought I’d pluck up the courage to call and see what they say to me, I’m hoping for the 17.5 weeks rather than the 18 week.

good luck to everyone still waiting for new claims/renewal/change of circumstances 🩷

Mythica87 · 07/11/2023 11:56

Good luck everyone 🤞🤞
