Following on from part 21 as it is about to become full! 😊

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My scan date is 10/8 so 16 weeks tomorrow for me. The wait is driving me mad!

Show quote history

It can be quite draining, isn’t it?! I try not to think about it and just get on with the kids each day. Once it hits 18 weeks then the stress may kick in then haha

Congratulations on all the awards and sorry to hear of the declines.

My claim will be 16 weeks on Friday (scan date 11/08) so I’ll probably call in 2 weeks time to see what’s going on

@MangoPepsiLover let me know any up dates xx

MangoPepsiLover · 29/11/2023 11:06

I'm in the hold queue finally, been alternating between DLA and utility company

If you are awarded and don’t know about it can money go in at any time of the day ?

Edited

I don't know about the time of the day, but certainly the money can come in without you getting any text or letter.
A few woke up to the money in their account today.

@roki I think once you get to 18 wks the panic sets in. I keep checking my phone for a text, but I also know that not everyone gets a text and that's even worse as it means we will have to wait even longer till we can ring them again. I just can't be bothered with it all now. I really don't want to do a MR. I basically sent all the evidence I have. His diagnoses, speech therapy etc. I don't think I have much else. It's just so deflating seeing dates past ours being awarded.

@Purple69 Nope not heard anything, it says 20 week wait which for me would be the 1st of Jan so I’m just going to have to wait until then. It seems so far away🤣 I’ve seen August dates close to me being awarded but obviously some people from July are still waiting so god knows! Sometimes wonder if they know what they’re doing. It’s frustrating x

No ur right I hope u hear any day 💜the wait is horrible am way behind u scan date 18 August but I don’t think we will be awarded xx good luck x

MangoPepsiLover · 29/11/2023 10:35

Anyone else unable to get through?

I get through the automated system but then get cut off, 6 times I've tried since 9am

roki · 29/11/2023 10:14

@crazytimes20 i can now see the frustration, hang in there , feel like having nightmare now horrible how it has taking my whole life, i hope i wont have to do a MR.

MilaMom · 29/11/2023 10:03

Some amazing awards today, congratulation ladies!!!
Really happy for you guys!

MilaMom · 29/11/2023 10:03

TheRBC · 29/11/2023 09:42

I seem to have become stuck in the loop of getting through the automated options, only to get cut off. I’m guessing phone lines are busy this morning, going to try again around 10:30. Congratulations to everyone awarded today and good luck to everyone awaiting a decision x

That happened to me 5 times yesterday.
I managed to get through in the end.
Good luck

cocoapple · 29/11/2023 10:02

@NeuroDmummy I’m 14/8 and I’ve also seen those dates on Facebook! Must be frustrating for you even more with you being July x

NeuroDmummy · 29/11/2023 09:57

@TheRBC me too! I can’t phone now until lunch. It’s so frustrating. I’ve seen them on Facebook being awarded 15/08 and 28/08 but we’re still sat here as July scan dates. It’s very strange x

Amy92x · 29/11/2023 09:07

Called 9am on the dot got straight through to a lady who was so unhelpful and rude. Couldn't tell me anything 🙄

Vampiredette84 · 29/11/2023 09:07

Well got through within 4 minutes to be told it’ll go to a dm by end of the week seem to be getting told the same thing fingers crossed and we’ll done to all the people being awarded 🫶🏻

Vampiredette84 · 29/11/2023 09:02

I’m on hold now my scan date 28/7 let’s see what they have to say today

Jk987 · 29/11/2023 08:55

What is DLA?

crazytimes20 · 29/11/2023 08:54

The dates are literally all messed up. Someone on FB has been awarded 28th yet there are still so many earlier dates waiting. I'm ringing tomorrow again if I don't hear anything today. He told me to wait till Friday but I'm too impatient at this point. The waiting is awful.

Mumofepilepsy · 29/11/2023 08:51

@CourtneyLxx thats same scan and txt date as me. It’s driving me mad 😡 it’s amazing that everyone is being awarded xx I would just love a answer soon xx this month seems a bit different from June and it jump quite a bit from 17th July then went to start of august then to 24th July. It’s a little mixed up xxx

3littlebird5 · 29/11/2023 08:48

I woke up this morning to a lovely payment in my account. My last text was 16/10 and looks like they have backdated to the date when I called for the form in June.
Thank you all for keeping me sane during the long wait. Reading this thread has helped me no end. I hope everyone still waiting hears some good news very soon and your little ones receive the support they are entitled to. My fingers are crossed for you all. X

MangoPepsiLover · 29/11/2023 08:48

Mumofepilepsy · 29/11/2023 08:33

@MangoPepsiLover still no joy 😞😞

is anyone else around 19th -21st July not had a reply xxx

@Mumofepilepsy Nothing for me either, 19 weeks today, it is honestly driving me insane. I've got to call my utility company this morning but will try and call after them.

CourtneyLxx · 29/11/2023 08:42

@Mumofepilepsy im 21/07 last text 16/10 and heard nothing since. Tried to phone a few times always get cut off 😩the wait is killing me xx
