[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 17…

Congrats @Lollypops88 x

Scan date 14/7 Hampshire. Called this morning said i should have a decision by the 13th.

What's your scan date? Sorry just working out everyone's scan dates for who's ringing to keep up to date with where they are at haha xx

Thanks ladies soooo greatful to have received this and the support of u all 🌈🌈🌈🌈

@Lollypops88 congratulations on your award 🥳🥳 xx

17/7 still on hold haha

On hold for 50 minutes just to be cut off 😭

20/07 here north west last text 16 October x

My last text was 25sept so it’s been 6 weeks not 5 I think that was purely coincidence

Awww that’s amazing , so worried now as mines taking so long

@Helenlogismumma how long have you waited hun whens your scan date xx

@Tmxx scan date 3/7 , been with a dm since 1st .

@Helenlogismumma wow I feel like that sounds like the worst part of the whole 18/19 weeks knowing you've had a whole week of being with a dm must be so hard! Xx

@Tmxx thats my worry , why so long with a dm , most people’s are only there a day or two

@Helenlogismumma I know sometimes the dm will contact someone that is mentioned in the forms for some more info so they sometimes are waiting on a response! Have you rang today xx

@Tmxx yes rang first thing was told to ring back Wednesday as still with the dm.
I sent lots of reports so I guess they could be contacting them , the form also got to them 2 days after it was due back so don’t know how that will effect it.

@Helenlogismumma I have everything crossed for you! Will be looking out for your decision outcome when you post!

I think what happens when they receive them out of the 6 week window is they go from the date they received them for backpack rather than the date you rang up? Please correct me if I'm wrong someone 😁 xx

Backpay* not backpack 🤣

It has gone awfully quiet! Has anyone that was on hold got threw yet!? Xx

I’m from London borough of Bexley (south east London) - scan date 12/7.

I think I’m so much more nervous now than I was before, applying for my 7 year old girl.

good luck all today 🥰

@Muva25 a massive congratulations to you hun you and your little one deserve this I’m so so happy for you. I bet you’re relived that your wait is finally over x

Nope ive been disconnected 4 times after the automated msg. Thought ill give it a try due to the recent new msg about 15 weeks

Awarded mrc and lrc couldn’t be happier

Congrats to everyone awarded today and I’m so sorry for those still waiting or even worse declined. It shouldn’t be this hard and stressful to get what’s needed for our children.
I am just commenting today as I have just tried to call them to see if they got my extra info and lo and behold I got cut off again! Albeit only after a few mins and not like the 45 mins on Friday or 56 mins on Thursday. But I am just so fed up trying to speak to them tbh! Why can’t they employ more staff! Or have an email address or journal system like UC for quick questions!? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Literally all I need is a one word answer…yes or no to do you now have my sons ASD report? Simple!

Congratulations 🥳 wait is finally over and you made it threw thank god 🤣 xx

I’m on hold I’ve given in and calling no doubt be told to call back in two weeks but I’m trying
