@MangoPepsiLover that is a really long wait and I would definitely ring them as iv seen loads of people get decisions after your date.Hopefully you will hear soon and get what is well deserved

@Looloo12332 I rang last Tuesday (21st) and was told its with DM and to not call back before 4th December

@LeTitsNowwww The date on the front of my form was 7/6 but by the time I sent it back and they received it my scan date was 14/8.You normally get first text then a second text and if what people on here are to go by its about 5 weeks after secind text you get a decision.

@Mumof3specialkids I should have known that 😅

Here’s hoping u just had a busy Dm chick xx

@MammyAng84 Keep thinking "I can't remember if I included this" or "If I included this then the evidence from the professionals/school won't back it up so it'll be a decline anyway"

Mumof3specialkids · 26/11/2023 15:38

@Looloo12332 COC stands for change of circumstances for claims that are already in receipt of DLA where the child’s needs have changed or worsened. Or if you now have more evidence and think your child should be receiving a higher award.
@LeTitsNowwww The scan date is the date they scan your completed forms into the system when they receive them. It would be on the first letter they send you stating that they have received your claim or you can call and ask for it.

MangoPepsiLover · 26/11/2023 14:55

Scan date 19/07
First Text 25/09
Second Text 16/10

18 weeks 4 days since scan
6 weeks tomorrow since last text

I have a feeling its a decline but I need to know so I can move on, it took me weeks to fill out the form so I need to know my efforts where wasted.

mumandchefandallsorts · 26/11/2023 14:52

My scan date is 28/7
last text 23/10
Hoping to hear something next week as will be 18 weeks then.

Linacre96 · 26/11/2023 08:41

@Anonymousks1984 well I did get told I wouldn’t hear until December as I rang Friday then I got text Saturday morning I’m ringing in morning to find out what rates as she on MRC atm but I wasn’t sure if you’d still get a text saying been awarded if stayed on Same rates x

Anonymousks1984 · 26/11/2023 07:33

@Linacre96 i got told it’s from when they received forms, congratulations on your award mine was scan date 16th June and been with a decision maker since Wednesday hopefully not much longer for me 🤞

MammyAng84 · 26/11/2023 00:41

I can only assume they didn’t contact anyone for mine as it went to Dm & decision was made under 24 hrs later xx

Dolliesmama · 25/11/2023 23:51

@mumoftwoxxx Mines the same.

tamara182 · 25/11/2023 22:51

i was told our claim was flagged up to be looked at this weekend 21/07 scan date, so i’m thinking cool we should definitely hear next week, but then i’ve read others say they contact the school, my senco is terrible for responding to people so i’m probably not going to get a decision till december 2024 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣do they always contact the school even if they’ve written supporting evidence?

BoyGirlMomxox · 25/11/2023 18:28

Sorry @cocoapple 2 months behind even 🤣 wow x
