….way.
im going to bite the bullet and attempt to call them

@Nicole12345 I rang Tuesday and was told to ring again in 2 weeks but I'm going to ring tomorrow and see

@Mummytofivegirls yeah I was told to call back in 2 weeks 2 weeks ago. think it’s just something they say to people when they call. I’m on hold now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Told another 2-2.5 weeks for a decision 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Nicole12345 I'm hoping the same it took me 3 weeks to fill in 1 form then used an advocate from the brain charity to help me with the 2nd, I just didn't have the head to do another 1 🙈 but hopefully not too much longer 🙏🏻

@upthewallmumof3 i feel like I have forms coming out my ears at the minute. If I’m not a at appointment I’m filling out form or on the phone chasing appointments. Just got to wait I suppose and hope for the best

Omg just this min received a txt my son as been awarded MRC LRM decision was made this morning scan date 20/2 was only on the phone to them yday morning bang on 9 to be told it's now taking 14 weeks mines took 11 weeks 4 days exactly.. just got to wait on a letter they all told me different things and different wait times don't think they no what there saying to people good luck to everyone waiting xx

@Unknown123qw oh wondering if they ain't working in order then as I'm 10/2 and still nothing 🤷 it's so confusing 🙈

Or does it work in the area you live 🙈 does anyone know ?

@Unknown123qw aww that’s great news! And a big weight lifted

@Mummytofivegirls Yeah I don’t think it’s going in date order either. I’ve seen a few after my scan date already have a decision so who knows 🤷‍♀️

@Nicole12345 I'm phoning them now

I was thinking that bcoz last week a lady with scan date of 8/2 got awarded and another lady with scan date in Feb got awarded early last week it's confusing to as who's next I genuinely though it went in order of scan dates

@Unknown123qw yeah so I did I honestly thought it was in order but who knows as we all get told different I'm wondering if it goes on area , congratulations tho bet your glad the wait is finally over 🥰

My anxiety as been through the roof honestly it's been so stressful fingers crossed for use all that are waiting good luck to everyone xx

My daughters still isn't with a decision maker

Oh I despair! Received a payment beginning of the month. NC scan date 1/2/23. Got payment letter today, appointee letter and then the last letter the award letter. The award letter is my address but not mine nor my child's name. 🙄. Now waiting on the phone

It can't be in order as my scan date 2 Feb! Not feeling very hopeful now, the wait is a killer 😫

Brilliant news @Unknown123qw did you send in lots of evidence

My suspicion is that they get allocated a bunch of claims and some decision makers will get through their load faster than others, some might work through theirs in a different order, some might need to wait to ask their manager about a few points etc. And I suppose some decisions are easier than others. Good luck to everyone still waiting. I’m trying to forget about it (yes I don’t know why I’m reading this if I’m trying to forget about it).

We are at renewal stage. Does anyone know if the award increases, if the difference is backdated to the date they received the forms as it is when you first apply, or does the new amount just apply from the next payment after renewal date?

@Peachlollipop yeah I think you are probably right. Sounds like it’s just pot luck of when yours is looked at. Just hope my sons is looked at soon

@Unknown123qw amazing news 🍾 the way their system is working is nuts! They should give clear info when people are calling! I got told yesterday 15 weeks! Anxiety is off the scale xxx

@upthewallmumof3 when I rang again today he said 13 weeks but got told 15 on Tuesday as soon as I said its been 13 weeks he didn't know what to say 🙈

Good luck to everyone still waiting. I’m trying to forget about it (yes I don’t know why I’m reading this if I’m trying to forget about it).

Haha yep I’m the same. I’m only on week 7 so I really need to unfollow this thread!🫣
