Hey everyone,

not posted before but been an avid watcher! Our scan date was 13/7 with a last text of 9/10. Rung for the first time yesterday to find out our son had been awarded MRC and LRM that very afternoon! No text to say this still but shows it’s always worth a call if you can bear the long hold!

I wish you all the best with your claims and keep the positive support going xxx

Mumofepilepsy · 16/11/2023 09:23

Morning guys I’ve just had a call from no caller ID couldn’t hear anyone stayed on phone to see if anyone said anything. Phone went down no one has called back scan date 21st July. Do they call u on no caller or a number. I really hope it is them yet 2 days ago I was told it’s in the holding pile. My phone was quite big x

CassD34 · 16/11/2023 09:22

I am 14/07

Rang this morning and it was awarded yesterday :) Yayyyyy!!!

Good luck to those waiting x

Mdavies2023 · 16/11/2023 09:22

@StrawberryPeas1 no way I'm 20/07 too they're so inconsistent with their information it's Ridiculous!

StrawberryPeas1 · 16/11/2023 09:19

I have a scan date of 20/07 called today and finally got through was told its not yet with DM and I am looking at the end of December for any decision to be made. I'm literally tearing teeth waiting for this.

Rebeccanew · 16/11/2023 09:18

Jude82 · 16/11/2023 09:14

Congrats @Rebeccanew and anyone else I’ve missed who has been awarded! 👏🏻
Good luck today everyone! The gods must be looking down on me today as I called and got straight through at 9.01am!! 🎉 It’s with a DM but she couldn’t say when it went to them. She noted the file to ask for the txt when decision is made so just got to wait again now. It’s 16 weeks today and she said it can take 17.5 weeks to get to DM and that’s the only timescale they can give but obvs mine already with one. They can’t say how long it will be with DM as it all depends but she confirmed again that my extra info has all been scanned on late October so they did get the Autism diagnosis report. 🙏🏻 Praying now for a positive and timely outcome

Pumpkins3 · 16/11/2023 09:14

@Rebeccanew Congratulations on your award 🥳 and everyone else who has been awarded since my last post.

Just an update for those around the same date (12/7) I rang this morning because I missed an unknown call. Got straight through and she said she doesn’t know if it was them, no note on the system so probably not. I asked if it was still just showing as with a DM and she said she doesn’t give any information on that or even tell people it’s with a DM because people think it’ll be done imminently then 🤨 So basically withholding the information x

Keddie · 16/11/2023 09:09

@Rebeccanew MASSIVE congratulations chuffed for you xx

Tmxx · 16/11/2023 09:07
