I did and now I'm nervously excited. I may have to appeal anyway but at least the long wait will be over for the initial decision!

@MummyBrx congratulations.. been waiting to hear whether or not you heard yet.
Glad your wait is finally over.

Thank you I still can't believe it! Seems like my body is still in the routine of not sleeping 😴 😂

@MummyBrx my sleeping pattern is all over the place. Currently got a teething 13month old who seems to think she can have party time at 4am and then again at 6ish.
Thrown in with a 3 & a half year old who takes hours to settle. So im lucky if I get 3-5 hours a night. So the no sleep during the waiting period was a breeze for me 🤣
Honestly so happy you got your award. I'm now waiting for uc to update and back date etc... who knows when they'll sort that out.

Morning guys. How long are these wait times getting. Cant remember the dates of my letters but had two texts one on the 12/9 and one the 2/10. 5 weeks after 2nd text takes it to the 2/11. I read someone with similar text date told not to ring until the 13th so I think it is 5 weeks after 2nd text I will keep everyone updated. This process should be less stressful.

Thank you! The money is already pending for tomorrow, I can’t quite believe it.

@BoyMumGirlMum2022 i’m exactly the same, takes forever to settle my 3 year old most nights and then my 11 month old likes to wake up at 4. Or if they sleep all night (like last night) I’m up at silly o’clock not being able to sleep 😅 x

Mummyof5kiddos · 19/10/2023 06:51

Did you receive 2nd text on 16/10? I’m scan date 19/7

Mummyrach13 · 19/10/2023 07:42

Is anyone calling this morning? Good luck if so 🤞 x

@Mamabearalw I received my second text 12th September so the 5 weeks have passed for me now. Called Tuesday and still not with decision maker. Person on the phone said there 55000 claims to go through and are taking between 18-20 weeks.

My scan date 15th june

BoyMumGirlMum2022 · 19/10/2023 08:35

I don't know how we do it @Mumtotwoboys121, I honestly feel like sleep isn't a thing I enjoy anymore lol
