Following on from part 17…

Nice little text to see ❤️ xxxxxx

The closer it gets the more anxious i feel. Scan date 14/7 last text 9/10

I'm the same scan date as you and was told end of November seems they tell everyone different. She told me 17 and half weeks. I wonder if they know who you been allocated before it goes to the decisions maker and what there specific wait times and that's why everyone is different.

Congrats @Sockbabies they will tell you rates and dates when you get through 😊

@Mumto2sengirlsxx its frustrating isn’t it with UC the longer it takes the more they have to pay but if we owed money they would take it Straight out. I should be due a similar amount to you, some have been done in as little as days but seen some say there waiting months. X

Thank you. On hold for 25 minutes so far. Xx

Mine was 1 hour 40 mins as this time the other day. X

I'm trying to stay on hold as long as possible but I need to put my little one up for a nap soon 😔. Xx

I'm on 45 minutes now, I wish it didn't say about call volumes so frequently I keep stop what I'm doing lol

@Asdmummyhere every time it pauses to say about call volumes I get excited 🤦🏻‍♀️.

I keep thinking they have text me by mistake due to him saying it wasn't with a dm this morning xx

@Mrsstephens04 as long as you’ve wrote British on the other question, you’ll be fine. I’m not going to ring again as I haven’t got time during work to be on hold for a lengthy time. Luckily I’m on half term this week xx

@Asdmummyhere hope you get through soon! Let me know what they say , I think your the same scan date as me aren't you? 6/7. I really wanna call again but I only called on Tuesday and spoke to quite an unhelpful person who just said no decision yet and could be 19 weeks 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤞 they have some news for you when you get through!

I've seen a few people who have had the same though. Not with a dm, not looked at etc and then they get a text. I honestly think they say what they feel like saying at the time

@Sockbabies dis I see right you applied before your little one was one? If so can I ask what you applied for please? Thank you xx

@Cheesywiggles I'll keep you updated. Yes 6/7. I'm using the extra evidence as an excuse again to call lol I've seen a few 5/6 and 4/6 so fingers crossed. Also going to ask for a text once a decision has been made

Heya.

No that's not me, I'm applying for my eldest who was 5 when I put application in for juvenile myclonic epilepsy. X

@Asdmummyhere

I just don't get what happened as at 9:15am it wasn't with a dm and then at 10:47am he qualifies.

Not even sure what I should say when they eventually pick up? Xx

@Asdmummyhere Fair enough lol , I've seen some too and that's what's got me wondering if our dates could be being done very soon! Thank you and deffo 🤞 for you!

@Cheesywiggles I was 5/7, so fingers crossed for you and @Asdmummyhere xx

@Sockbabies Thank you and congratulations on your award! ☺️

I would just say you've received the text and was wondering about the rates etc I would be straight on the phone calling to ask lol

@Asdmummyhere I rang as soon as I could but the littlest wanted a snack 😂

@Sockbabies when i spoke to the lady this morn she paused alot as in to think what to say so i do wonder/hope mine is with a dm she said it was very close to go to a dm 🤣❤️🌈

He was dead set this morning it wasn't with a dm. 1 hour and 10 into the waiting

1 hour 10 on hold. Spoke to a lovely man. Had to go through a hell of a lot of security even though I'd given reference number. He says it should be allocated in the next 2 weeks. Said my extra evidence is on there and hopefully they take that into account 😳 asked for a text when a decision is made. Not calling again now, feel a little deflated x

@sockbabies im so happy for u fingers x i get my anwser by monday ay ❤️🌈🌈
