Following on from part 16…..

@Muva306 Sorry no idea why it tagged your username wrong , I can't seem to edit it for some reason either.

same date as me I’m to anxious to call

@Kelz23 I'm 6/7 and nope , just called this morning and was told no decision yet and its up to 19 weeks at the moment. I agree the wait is torture!

@Kelz23 im beggining of july :) good luck not long to go

This wait the worse, in 2022 when I done my youngest the wait was 13 weeks and I thought that was bad this is awful.

Do yous think the people on the other end the phone know when we last called etc or how many times 😅 you know once it hits over the 15th week mark should be able to call as many times as we want why do we feel bad for calling x

1 hour 9 minutes wait
Scan date 29/06 for COC. I've changed my sons school details. I was told 24 week wait.
Congratulations everyone who have been awarded

Just got off the phone. 29/06 scan date. Went to Case Manager yesterday and lady said a letter should arrive within 10 days once a decision has been made. I asked if I could receive text and she said they don’t all have that facility. What she did say which is interesting is once they get allocated to a DM/CM their working patterns vary as some are only part time, others full time and work overtime. So this is why timescales vary with awards. Will give it til Thursday and try again xx

Ridiculous and they prob give the same amount claims to full time as they do part time. I’ve never known wait like it and no guarantee even get awarded then it’s wait for mr

My son's scan date was 16/6, went to DM 16/10, awarded HRC LRM 18/10 with effect from 16/5.

Currently waiting on a decision for my daughter's claim (scan date 27/6), been with DM since last week. Got call from DWP today to say the DM had sent it off to their medical advisors to get 2nd opinion on how her mobility is impacted/likely to be impacted as she wants to make a fair decision. My daughter has got Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele, Hydrocephalus, Hip Dysplasia and Clubfoot. I'm guessing DM is trying to decide whether my daughter meets the threshold for HRM? Considering calling back at the end of the day if not tomorrow. Those anxious feelings I had with my son's claim is now back.

Got through this morning after an hour
scan date 27/06
last text 25/09

awarded hrc and lrm for two years, relieved and cried down the phone to the lovely man I was speaking to.

Really debating on calling in hour or so I just think won’t have a decision yet .. 😩 scan 29/06

My gosh guys i just spoke to the nicest lady ever !!!! 3/7 still in a que will go to decision maker any day cal back if i havent heard anything in 2 week :) cant get over how nice she was tho 🥰🥰🥰

congrats on all the awards today! Scan date 29/06 also, dying to ring but think I may wait while Thursday. Good luck to everyone with close dates!

Great to see so many awards!

I'm 29/06, I'm scared to call so going to wait and hope for a text or money in bank.

I'm not feeling hopeful for some reason though.

18th July scan date here. Was going to ring but sounds like we're another month away. I'm really struggling to fund the stuff he needs to do to stop his mobility getting worse and I need to replace his pushchair because i struggle to push it.

Hi all, I got my second text today anyone know how long after the second text people are getting a decision? Thankyou in advance

Hello congratulations on the award, just wondered how many texts did you get and how long from last text did you get the award?

@Lauren2121 its roughly 5 weeks after the 2nd text x

Okay that’s great thankyou for letting me know

Hi everyone my scan date is 4/8 recieved second txt today

@Lauren2121 My scan date is the 12th of July. I have been advised to callback w/c 13th of November x

@Lauren2121 same scan date as me , received 2nd text today, will be watching n waiting anxiously

Nice it have someone with the same scan date, we can wait together, I’m so anxious about being turned down

@DanniiB1983 hi I’m COC too, 9th June, so it sound like the wait time has come down a little bit as I was told 26 weeks, I hope it has 🤞the wait is driving me mad yet I know people on here who have been waiting even longer than me 😵‍💫
