Parking myself thanks for the new thread 🙂

You’re welcome. I’m also scan date 16/6 and have been with DM since yesterday. Are you going to wait for a text or letter or are you going to call? So nerve wracking xx

Scan date 19/7

Keddie · 18/10/2023 11:42

@Sskanf Nooooooooo ! Serious? Thats a joke. I do think some of these advisors dont give accurate info to prevent you from calling back to chase? I am hopeful for November x

Tmxx · 18/10/2023 11:43

@Keddie have you had the second text!? It seems people are getting a decision 5 weeks after that!

Keddie · 18/10/2023 11:44

@Tmxx yes had second text 2 weeks ago now. Never had a single letter, i have to chase for my scan date too x

Mumto2sengirlsxx · 18/10/2023 11:44

Scan 26/06 hoping to hear back within the next 2 weeks this wait is killing me!! Good luck anyone waiting for their decisions xx

Sskanf · 18/10/2023 11:45

I think she just said that to stop me from calling. I don't believe it'll take that long to make a decision. I am also hopeful for November so hold in there x
From the orevious thread a lot of people stated getting a decision 5 weeks after 2nd txt @Keddie @Tmxx

Mumtotwoboys121 · 18/10/2023 11:45

@JME85post on here if you end up calling, don’t think I have it in me to call again today x

Keddie · 18/10/2023 11:46

@Sskanf I am going to leave it until Monday the 12th of November and then call if i have not heard before, will keep you posted if anything before x

Mummyrach13 · 18/10/2023 11:46

Scan date 26/6 seems there are a few of us with that date here waiting! 🤞x

Harrydog111 · 18/10/2023 11:47

I'm 21/06, thinking next week? Similar to you except dd is 12 with asd.
Not received any texts at all, just letters although I did include my number. One letter 4th July to confirm receipt of application and a 2nd letter on the 8th August saying working through

Wonder if it's with same DM? I'm not sure what to do lol think I'll probably call Friday morning if I haven't heard by then. Fingers crossed for you x

Of course, I’ll update once I’ve called. It’s so draining. I’m full of cold which I’m sure has been caused by the stress of all this x

I totally agree. My head is pounding with worry as now I’m convinced we’ve been declined. Patiently waiting for the call handler to call me back but I’m not sure she will. I find it stressful being on hold at the best of times so will just have to try again at 9am tomorrow. Hope you get good news when you call x

MummyBrx · 18/10/2023 11:52

@Mumtotwoboys121

Hope it's good news let me know how you get on
