It's looking like we're going to need a new thread. Good luck to everyone waiting for a decision. Our scan date is 02/11 so it could be any day now, but most likely another week or two.

@Macariosmummy thank you, so still use that address even though sending it recorded delivery? X

Macariosmummy · 15/02/2023 15:53

@Snickerdoodles19 i think so as I don’t know another address for them x

Snickerdoodles19 · 15/02/2023 16:36

@Macariosmummy there’s the actual Wolverhampton address where all the letters get sent from aswell I think it’s the same place the handling site x

Macariosmummy · 15/02/2023 16:46

@Snickerdoodles19 maybe give them and ask them which address would be best to send it to as you need it to get there ASAP x

After been told yesterday it would be another 2 weeks minimum I've just had a phone call to advise we have been awarded mrc & lrm. So happy I could cry. Scan date 9/11

Cath82 · 15/02/2023 17:44

We've been awarded. I rang last Monday and they said I'd hear by the end of the month. Have seen lots of similar scan dates to mine (9/11) so tried ringing yesterday and couldn't get through.

it was worth the 40 minute wait ringing again today!

We have been awarded MRC and LRM for 2 years. The lady on the phone was lovely and went through everything with me.

Congratulations @Cath82 @Maresa2511 such good news.

Beccaot · 16/02/2023 01:22

Snickerdoodles19 · 15/02/2023 14:35

@Beccaot with the extra info do you just put a covering letter with it asking for it to be added, what address did you use?

Sorry for the late response I put

FREEPOST DWP DLA child

Judesmommy34 · 16/02/2023 05:44

Jumping in 22/11 here hopefully not long fingers crossed, although im sure ours will be turned down as i hear alot of vision impaired kids get refused, heartbreaking

Snickerdoodles19 · 16/02/2023 05:57

@Beccaot thanks, just going to use this address with recorded delivery and hope they look at it in time.

Snickerdoodles19 · 16/02/2023 05:58

@Als2017 did you use the freepost address with recorded delivery?

twinmumaa · 16/02/2023 06:50

Good morning everyone, I cannot believe it but received payment for my other child . I couldn’t believe it first 😁. No more calls to DWP I guess until 2024. Scan date 31.10. Good luck to everyone and good news☺️. This group and you people are amazing 🤩
