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

@Asdmummyhere I'm glad you managed to get through! Shame they couldn't give you much of an update. I wouldn't worry about what he said about the evidence , as long as it's been scanned on which it sounds like it has I'm sure the DM will take it into account. That's how I felt on Tuesday , was on hold for 1.5 hours and then spoke to someone who sounded like she just couldn't be bothered! 🤞 we both get a decision very soon!

Wow that's mad that they said another 2 weeks when early July is being done for a lot of people! I think they just say that because they know within the 2 weeks you'll definitly be done and know so won't have to ring again! Xx

Lollypops88 · 03/11/2023 13:31

3/7 still waiting wont ring now till middle of next week ❤️❤️❤️

Lollypops88 · 03/11/2023 13:32

Watso2408 · 03/11/2023 13:51
