Well done @Xsam1985x zxxxxx

@Xsam1985x Congratulations thats brilliant news!!! Fingers crossed everyone gets good news next week

Just seen on fb a 12/7 been awarded today :) I do hope mines next week I can’t stand another weekend of not knowing x
scanned 14/7

@Rebeccanew did you ring today after seeing the 12/7 being with dms? Xxx

I'm gutted I was too busy to ring today now seeing the 12th being with dms! Really want to know if ours is now too 😅 xxx

@Cheesywiggles
i reckon you should ring on Monday first thing if you can hopefully ours gets seen too fast or over the weekend and hopefully have good news soon! or any news
I called today and yesterday tbh
keep us updated and good luck everyone!
also I don’t think they do text answers on weekend

Hi can anyone get awarded on a weekend or will it be Monday now?

@Melliee yeah I'm definitely gonna try to call first thing Monday. 🤞 Ours get seen too fast and we get good news definitely! I'm not sure about the weekend but I'm really interested to know if they make decisions at the weekend and send texts. I have seen a couple of people on FB saying they have received award texts on a Saturday so I suppose you never know!

Congratulations to all that’s been awarded today 🥰 I’m so happy for you.

guys with the scan dates of 10/10-11/10-12/10-13/10-14/10 we should be finding out very soon as seen a few that’s the 12-10 that are with a CM already fingers crossed for us to find either this weekend or early next week. I am debating if to call on Monday or leave it to I’m 18 weeks on the Wednesday, who is calling Monday coming from them scan dates? X

@Tammie23 fingers crossed for you 🤞I’ve got an anxious feeling we will be declined too but hopefully not! I can’t even remember what I wrote in the application now I keep worrying I haven’t said enough. Do you have an idea what you’re hoping for? X

@JJO15 I can't remember what I wrote either, and tbh anything is better than nothing my son currently is unable to walk his high school has filled the bit wherein asks who knows the child, I've sent a summary from the gp of all the care he's under and physio appointments and his referral for ehcp, so I'm hoping that's enough evidence oh plus his blue badge application confirmation he's got weak leg muscles plus he can't see anything without glasses, he wakes up during the night crying in pain I have to carry him up and down the stairs he's in a wheelchair or crutches and his legs go at any minute so tbh I really don't know what he will be awarded, what about you? Xx

@Tammie23 bless him it’s sounds like he definitely needs a lot more care and support than other children might. That must be hard on you too having to carry him.
I’ve been putting off claiming for years now, was told to claim when my son was 5 but I didn’t see him as having a disability until I had another child and at age one she’s already doing more than he can at 8 in a lot of areas. He’s got a learning disability and adhd and has 1:1 at school. He’s difficult to get to sleep and wakes up very early in the morning and bangs until everyone’s awake but I’m not sure that’s enough to meet the night time needs part x

@Tmxx i rang 9am they said very close to decision maker ohhh I hope it’s went down at some point today and overtime moon at it! It’s another weekend for us not knowing let’s hope this is our last weekend not knowing hun xxxxxxx

@Billie1993 were same dates for everything arnt we? I phoned up today and mine is with a cm as of this morning! Did you call today also?

Yes same stamped date, same scan date and same text dates. I didn’t call today as I haven’t been all to well. I was thinking about calling Monday or potentially waiting till Wednesday. I am so happy to see yours is with a CM as mine could possibly be with one too 🥰

Hey All! Just parking myself here as been reading these for a while. I rang today 16.5 weeks and the woman wouldn’t give any thing away on the phone said nothing yet. Hopefully not to much longer although I’m not banking on an award 🥹 it’s a long time to wait and be disappointed.

my scan date is 17/07

good luck to all that’s waiting x

I rang first thing today and it wasn’t with a DM yet so not sure when to ring again. Also tempted to call Monday but Wednesday makes sense with it being 18 weeks then. It’s so hard not to call for an update 😂 Scan date 12/07.

@Pumpkins3 theres my other scan date buddie :) I am feeling like Wednesday would also be more better to call but then seeing @Mommaof2babas who is also our scan date buddie who’s with a CM today makes me want I call Monday now 😂

Congratulations to everyone awarded today @Cheesywiggles Ive been keeping a look out for you. Fingers crossed by Monday you'll have an answer. Good luck to everyone else waiting. You all are so lovely and this thread has helped me so much during my wait so please carry on because there's so many new people waiting xxx

We’re getting there buddy. Perhaps we could call Tuesday and compromise 😂 It’s awful because I ring and then when they say it’s not with a DM I’m like, ugh, knew I shouldn’t have rang 🙈😂

So try our hardest not to call on Monday and call Tuesday instead, I rang the other day and wished I hadn’t all I got was at 18 is when it should go to a DM which we will be 18 weeks on the Wednesday. But I am hoping that we could go to a dm over the weekend with any luck

We’ll do our best anyway. I was hoping that they might go to a DM over the weekend or Monday so when we call Tuesday it’ll be done. May be wishful thinking though 🙈

I’ve got a scan date of 5/7 and still no answer yet, have a feeling it may be a rejection 😓

We can only hope right. When I received the forms the stamp date was the 10th June which is a weekend so my theory is that I’m hoping it would be looked at over a weekend and I’m hoping it’s this weekend and not the next one I don’t know about you but I can’t cope with this much longer it’s draining we just need to know lol

@JJO15 we are all having a difficult time with our children aren't we I've never claimed before but got told to do so years ago but didn't tbh I really don't know why, my sister in law has a son with adhd and he sounds a little like your little one and she got mrc and lrm so fingers crossed for you I'll be keeping an eye out for your posts as we are together keep positive and good luck lovely xxx
