[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 16…..

@Lollypops88 where the hell did 28th July assigned come from though. As I know it it wasn’t to decision maker then so what she mean.

@Kelz23 i think they are honestly random and theres no system, the lady told me yesterday its not area so i thought mine maybe at bristol she said no it goes to whoever could be seen in blackpool or birmingham where everthe next avaible decsioin maker is 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ oh and she said middle of nov for me so the 13th iv been told the last 2 times before i rang yesterday, i reckon we will get an anwser before the time frames they give us 🌈🌈🌈 and she didnt tell me it had been allocated

@Lollypops88 yhh I think they all say different things I’ll just leave it now it made me stressed even just calling. Let me know if you hear though please 🙏 and good luck

@Kelz23 you too 🌈🌈 i will be waiting till the 13th to ring them again now hopefully we hear sumit before ay ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @Lollypops88 whats your scan date please? Xxx

@Rebeccanew my scan date is the 3/7 lovley

my scan date is 4/7 i rang today got through to a nice man which was a change lol he said will go to the decision maker this week if not early next week.

im going to ring back friday and continue to ring every 2 days to get a decision whether they like it or not

i meant till i get a decision

@Kelz23 @Lollypops88 I'm also 3/7! i phoned yesterday & was told it hadn't gone to a DM yet but it was in a holding pile so should be very close! He couldn't give me a time frame but judging by other peoples decisions, i reckon next week for us!! Fingers crossed ladies! x

Ohh I’m not far after you @Lollypops88 good luck 🩷

18/7 and they said end of Nov for ours. I've complained to my MP because it's not good enough and life is hard enough ATM. Took me 1 1/2 hours to get through as well

@NatalieAnn92x good luck 🍀 keep us updated

@Kelz23 @NatalieAnn92x @Lollypops88 I called Monday and was told 18.5 weeks wait I hope its sooner the wait is a nightmare

@Nicole313 its awful, I keep seeing the odd 1 from July getting done it’s giving me major anxiety. I was ok till we hit 16 week mark. 🤯

Is it me or does this week seem really slow compared to the people saying they've been awarded last week!

@Tmxx I thought the same I just thought maybe staff might be off with it being half term xx

I never thought about this!! But surely that would have made last week slow not this week!? Xx

@Tmxx we are off this week West Midlands xx

It seems to be most are getting decisions around 18.5 weeks seems correct for a lot here! I think a few lucky ones slip through earlier. X

Oh my god wow didn't even think of this! I am South so ours was last week! I didn't even know it was different times in different places haha xx

doesnt some decision makers work from home? Also surely they would have cover? X

Do I called Monday was told my claim was with a decision maker, called today for an update and was told it’s not been allocated yet , she’s not sure why I was told different Monday! This is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever gone through so who knows what next!
scan date 3:7

Just seen on a Facebook post one of the questions on the forms "if thr child is a Swiss did it live in the UK at the time of thr claim" (something like that) apparently your supposed to leave blank if your child isn't a Swiss but I didn't understand the question and I'm almost sure I ticked yes just because it's asked if the child lived in the UK 🙈 will this effect my sons claim do you think? Is it worth calling them to explain that I am just that thick I didn't understand the question

hi sorry to bother you what is their threshold for HRC? confusing to be honest . with all the conditions you have listed above why will they even think twice seriously..
