My scan date 4/7 last text 2/10 called Monday and Tuesday and wasn’t even with a dm, on hold now to find out if there’s any movement. The anxiety is unreal 😫

Clairexdx · 09/11/2023 09:12

Be interesting to know what we all get told lol x

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:18

The pause before she tells you there's high call volumes gets me nervous so many times when holding 🤣🤣🤣

Doymum · 09/11/2023 09:22

@tmxx I caved my meeting doesn’t start till 10 I’m on hold lol 😂

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:24

@Doymum amazing 🤣🤣 let us know if you manage to get threw before your meeting! I'm on 22minutes 😪 xx

Momtothreeboys · 09/11/2023 09:24

I'm on hold to see if they've put my extra evidence on yet. I sent it recorded so know its been delivered. Scan date is 15 /8 so not nowhere near a decision yet.

Mommaof2babas · 09/11/2023 09:25

Scan date 12.07
So phoned on friday&Monday and got told it should be end of this week/Monday and just phoned now to a women who sounded like she was still asleep to say it's now taking 19 weeks and be end of the month! Tbh don't even think she put our details into the system to check😩 going to wait till Monday to call!

Keddie · 09/11/2023 09:27

Just called and spoke to a lovely woman called Carol. Apparently my scan date is the 13th and currently in the holding queue. Confirmed its taking 17.5 weeks, advised me to send over some further information to them as back up on the claim as she could see i had not sent this so will be doing so today. All I can say is it will be this month....... not much of an update but at least she was polite xx

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:30

@Keddie @Mommaof2babas thats already 2 phone calls scan dates 1 day apart and being told completely different things!!!

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:31

How long was your wait til they answered roughly!? I'm on 30 mins xx

I also may aswell hang up now.. I'm 11/07 so just before you two but they haven't even awarded a 7/07 yet I don't think xx

Keddie · 09/11/2023 09:33

@Tmxx 25 mins xx

Mommaof2babas · 09/11/2023 09:34

@Tmxx my call was all together 22 minutes x

Doymum · 09/11/2023 09:34

On phone to her scan date 10/7 said not even allocated to anyone yet and won’t be till next Monday. So frustrating

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:35

@Doymum even though your just the day before me our texts are 1 week apart so was sure you'd be this week with the 5/6/7 dates! So frustrating! How long was your wait xx

Louisamae · 09/11/2023 09:36

call time 29 minutes, mines with a case manager and the guy was going to email to chase up, apparently I’ll get a text when a decisions made but I know from reading previous that doesn’t always happen. Argh the anxiety 😟

Mommaof2babas · 09/11/2023 09:36

It's so frustrating that on one day you get told one thing then few days later a completely different thing! And everyone with close enough dates getting told different things🙄

Doymum · 09/11/2023 09:36

@Tmxx just spoke to a lovely lady she just said it’s 18 weeks and basically waiting in a queue said to call back next Wednesday and see.

Doymum · 09/11/2023 09:37

@tmxx roughly 22 minutes the lady was so nice, she just said it’s saying 18 weeks. I honestly thought I would find out this week. So so deflating
