Congratulations on your award, your wait is finally over x

No update she told me it was scanned on the system on the 1st of August yet my scan date on the letter is 27/7 so I'm going with that as when I rang last time he told me the 27/7 so where she got the 1st of August from I don't know.

I am on week 18, I called yesterday to be told it hasn’t gone to DM yet and to expect a wait if another 2-4 weeks. I waited 1 hour and 20 mins to even be answered 🫣

Scan date 21/07 not with DM yet

Pumpkins3 · 14/11/2023 09:52

Checking in here to see how you’re getting on. I’m sorry it’s taking so long for them to answer 😩 Hope you get through soon. Who knows how long the wait will be by the time I get chance to ring in a bit x

Vikz37 · 14/11/2023 09:49

Sounds like it does take longer I've never rang at 9 before but I'm still awaiting 46 minutes later I've only got 10 mins then I'll have to hang up as starting work. Annoying.

Edited

@Vikz37

Before when you call at 9am or around that time the wait time wasn’t this long before, so I think so many more people must be calling this time around, hopefully you’re not waiting much longer hun

Tmxx · 14/11/2023 09:52

Oh my god guys hope you get threw to them soon! I really think you'll be having a decision today or tomorrow at 17+6 @Sskanf so maybe ask them to log on there what the report said as it probably won't reach them in time xxx

Keddie · 14/11/2023 09:51

@Billie1993 I am still on hold 45 mins now x

Billie1993 · 14/11/2023 09:50

Rebeccanew · 14/11/2023 09:47

@Rebeccanew its getting longer and longer to call it’s a nightmare, 25 minutes so far for me on hold hopefully not much longer for us both.
