17 weeks wait time I got told today. Mine is in holding apparently.

He said end of Feb for a decision for me.
Fingers crossed it will be this month, I can cope another 3 to 4 weeks!

Good luck everybody.

PandaChopChop · 02/02/2024 12:51

Phoned and it cut me off before I could even begin to get on hold!

PandaChopChop · 02/02/2024 12:40

Still nothing here. 29/09. Anyone else still waiting?

Hi all I just thought I’d give an update with how I’m getting along having a scan date of 15th September. It’s 20 weeks since scan date today and been with a cm/dm (told off 3 different people different names?) 2 weeks 3 days 😅 one lady said she was emailing to get the lady who has it to look at it as soon as she’s back? (From where I don’t know) and a man I spoke to after said whoever has it is working today and he will ask her to take a look today! 🤯 congratulations to all that have got a good award and good luck to everyone else 🤞🏻

Update on my call this morning,

My boys been awarded! HRC LRM At the age of 14 I thought we had no chance I’ve fought for years to get him what he deserves and this will make a massive difference to our lives, I might now actually afford to be able to drive. I cried on the phone!

Good luck to all those still waiting don’t lose faith like I almost did. @Siobhangrace hope your hear soon lovely x

Hello,

I've just joined to say I'm on the phone to them now, on hold for 40 minutes so far.

They received my claim on 23/10. Had 2 letters and 1 text so far.

They have me down on the letter as a Mrs and not a Miss so it's an excuse for me to ring up and find out how my claim is getting on 😆

Hate the waiting!!!!!

Sarahdestiny · 02/02/2024 12:02

@ItsRalf yes fingers crossed

Mastersstudent83 · 02/02/2024 11:59

@Margot82x @Gracie1909 Thanks so much! I just wanted to share my story to show that refusal decisions can and do get overturned, sometimes quite significantly. Good luck everyone.

I’m still waiting keep checking my bank first thing! I’m tempted to ring as got a couple hours free

Show quote history

I caved in and rang... Unfortunately got a very grumpy lady who didn't really want to say anymore than that they have received it, but when I asked she said it's with someone now who will make the decision and that I'll get a letter with the details once the decision is made... So basically she was mad I'd rang I think and doesn't want me to ring again 😒

Bell27x · 02/02/2024 10:26

ShellyDerbyshire · 02/02/2024 09:45

Oh interesting! Does this mean they work through the weekend making decisions too do you think?

@FlutterByASD i disnt call for the papers I just printed them out myself so doesn't get backdated to when I called cause I didn't call up

That will be why then, you've only had 18 weeks pay.

@Amycroft I work it out to be correct. It would go from the Wednesday after your scan date so 4th Oct. Week 1 would be 11th Oct, Week 17 would be 31st Jan x

Amycroft · 02/02/2024 10:07

@Gracie1909 no I never called I juat printed from website and sent off

Gracie1909 · 02/02/2024 09:59

@Amycroft if they have backdated to when you rang for the form it should be a few weeks on top of that that they owe you surely? As u requested your forms before me didn't you x

Gracie1909 · 02/02/2024 09:57

@Amycroft hi i requested my forms in 5th October, I have been awarded the same back as u £2197.05. HRC and lrm it's exactly 17 weeks money from 5th October when I asked for my forms. So you should have more then me? X
