@Billie1993 no it was a couple of days late so assumed it would go off stamp date but it hasn't. I called for forms on 18th may. I'm so happy I can get my boy his bed now. @Cheesywiggles so glad it's with a DM not for you. Not long to go, I'll keep checking in xx

@Asdmummyhere thank you , I'm glad it's with one now finally. Just really worried it's going to be a decline. I've not been having the best of weeks this week so feeling a bit negative. Will just have to wait and see xxx

Loui5 · 09/11/2023 13:15

Im Hampshire 14/7 told around the 13th for decision x

Momtothreeboys · 09/11/2023 13:17

FloofCloud · 09/11/2023 13:19

@Doymum Still waiting, 1.35 hours so far

MangoPepsiLover · 09/11/2023 15:11

Had to hang up as need to go on school run now, will try again in the morning.

MrsZzz · 09/11/2023 15:13

I’m still waiting… scan date 6/7, last text 2/10
Just trying to call now - I kept getting cut off when I tried earlier. I called last Monday and was told 10 days so I’ve waited until now but seeing a few with the same dates as me get awarded I’m hoping there’s some news.

DS has just started a new school and his needs have really ramped up - I’m hoping he gets awarded based on my original form but if not I want to start prepping for MR.
