Hi everyone 5th of August scan date . Just rang and been told my boy has been awarded MRC and LRM . It was all a bit weird though as he said there had been a technical issue and it looked like it was still open even though had been awarded. Then he said it looks like their still finalising things . But then said they sent out a letter last week. He said it had definitely been awarded though until aug 24. Didn't say anything about payment dates or back money. I'm wondering wether to call again in the morning to confirm things again . He did 20 mins of typing in silence and didn't really sound as if he knew what he was doing. Anyone had anything similar ?

My scan date is 9th Aug, called today and spoke to a lovely lady who advised my claim was with a DM and could take up to 2weeks once with a DM, but assured me that it shouldn't take that long...this thread has been so useful....fingers crossed x

He just said there was an issue and it hadnt completed correctly so going to ring again I. The morning to make sure. Our scan date was 5th of August Hun. Its awful waiting.
