Currently on hold 45 minutes, just wanted to check they've received 2 lots of extra evidence I've sent. Scan date 24/07 so from looking on here it should go to DM next week 🤷‍♀️

Mommaof2babas · 13/11/2023 09:46

They definitely need some sort of online system so we can check our claims progress online saves being on hold for ridiculous amounts of time for us to be spoken to for less then 2 minutes! Would save so much time!

Snork86 · 13/11/2023 09:45

Just got through, it's been allocated to a DM today, she said hopefully by the end of the week or early next week. Scan date of 11/07. More waiting!

Rebeccanew · 13/11/2023 09:44

Good luck @Snork86

ahhh am so over the moon for yous @Tmxx @Doymum xxxxxx

Just got through to a jolly young chap, but he wasn't overly helpful.. he said any new evidence will take 2 weeks to be scanned on (they only signed for it Thursday) and I asked when my claim would go to a DM he asked my scan date and I said it was 26/7 he said "no therebwint be any update yet new claims are taking 17.5 weeks we've only just got into early July dates now" so 40 mins on hold for absolutely no reason 🤣🤣

MKAW222 · 13/11/2023 09:42

Just got off the phone. Scan date 12/7. Last text 9/10.
Still not with a decision maker but the lady was really lovely and says it should definitely go to one this week....

Congratulations to everyone on their well deserved awards. Fingers crossed for my girl 🤞🤞

Mommaof2babas · 13/11/2023 09:41

@Mrsstephens04 the wait is agonising isn't it! Especially as I got through straight away at 9 didn't even go onto hold or anything then the man who answered put the phone down on me after saying hello! I called straight back now I'm on hold! 37 minutes!

Mrsstephens04 · 13/11/2023 09:39

@Mommaof2babas 38 minutes on hold 🥱🥱

Mommaof2babas · 13/11/2023 09:38

@Cheesywiggles
i am thinking of holding off the phone call now until Wednesday if not heard or seen anything until then lol!
will you be phoning on monday??
if you do let us know!!
best of luck to all of us!!

@Melliee I called at 9am, only got kept on hold for 15 mins in the end which is good! Unfortunately there is still no decision 🙈 spoke to a lovely lady though who said she thinks I should hear in the next day or so. She agreed to put it on the system that I would like a text message if possible! I swear all this waiting is driving me nuts lol 😂

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 09:26

Anyone wondering about the 5 weeks after text theory, it's pretty much right! I am 5 weeks from text today and was awarded Friday so just before even xxx

Tmxx · 13/11/2023 09:25

@PinkMoscatoLover you did! And I knew he had extra care but was so worried they'd say well all baby's need 24 hour care! So glad the wait is finally over xxx

Mammyto4c · 13/11/2023 09:25

17 weeks today currently on hold am not hopefull tho as got told 19 weeks last week 😂

Snork86 · 13/11/2023 09:25

Congratulations to you both... I am still on hold, have been for 24 minutes! I feel so nervous.

PinkMoscatoLover · 13/11/2023 09:24

@Tmxx congratulations on the award💐 I told you not to worry about age as little ones can still get awarded if you prove they have extra care needs! X
