@TheRBC ive just got through after 2 hours 39 minutes.
my 3 year old has been awarded MRC for 2 years and my 7 year old HRC and LRM again for 2 years!
they we’re only awarded today. No text to tell me.

I hope you have a positive outcome also…. Everything crossed for you!

@NeuroDmummy Congratulations

I never got a text either. I literally rang up and asked if they wanted me to send in my DDs prescriptions as shes on different medication and she said "No need she's been awarded"

She's been awarded 😮

LRM and MRC

I am crying

Wicked! I’m not sure if you saw my comment to you on the last thread (it was under a different name tbf) but I remember encouraging you to think positive as you just never know.

I’m extremely happy for you and your DC. Now you can reduce your hours as planned to care for DC. Congratulations!💐

MangoPepsiLover · 29/11/2023 14:08

@MammyAng84 Have you had your backpay yet? Don't think I'll quite believe it until backpay hits my account, she said by end of the week I should have it

Ive been stalking these threads for a few weeks now so thought I’d post!

Have called today (got through in 29 minutes?!) to check they have received extra evidence from September.
Told the application is in a holding pile waiting to go to a DM.. hoping for some good news soon 🤞

mumoftwoxxx · 29/11/2023 13:40

@Babzie same scan date/texts as me.. Feel like the wait will be forever

NeuroDmummy · 29/11/2023 13:33

Been on hold over 2 hours! This is the longest yet. Praying now it’s good news 🤞 x

28/8 what are we looking at girls, the wait is killing me off I am on 15 weeks next week, had my 2 text 31/10 and 21/11

My daughters was around 16 weeks that was awarded in jan but the story's on here of the waiting is hideous :/

@Babzie 18 weeks 5 days it took for me to get a decision but 19 weeks today is when I heard so I'd say another 3-4 weeks for you

Congratulations 😊 your wait is finally over xx

Raych1989 · 29/11/2023 13:09

I am 4 weeks on Friday since updating UC and the only acknowledgement I've had is its been sent to the decison maker and that was last week. Feeling frustrated with it at this point. Spoke to someone on Friday who said I won't be able to get any updates now until the decison maker makes their decison. Another waiting game 😔
