That's good news im the same scan date as you ive worked out the last week of november for a decision.

@Billie1993 @Pumpkins3 I really hope yous are in the same pile as me and with a decision maker!! I'm phoning again Monday my patience just isn't going to hold🤦‍♀️

@Mommaof2babas ahh see it’s you that makes me want to ring 😂 I don’t have any patience either I am trying I don’t know how I managed to hold out from calling today. I’m hoping we’re all with the same person and find out together. If I don’t manage to call Monday I am watching this post like a hawk for your update hun

If only the could make a site u log into to check for updates to save the ringing, it would help us & save them having to answer so many phone calls

@Tammam1702 same scan date as me what date was your last text? Mine was the 9/10.

@Tammie23 ohh really that’s good to know, thank you. I literally had no idea of amounts when applying then was reading the criteria and i can imagine it completely depends on who you get assessing it on the other end how they interpret things. Seems like pot luck with some people getting declined when they clearly have needs. The unknown is stressful! Will update you if I ring in and when we’re awarded…hopefully not too long to go xx

@Billie1993 awh sorry😂 I have no patience at all I've called 3 times this week😂 finally got the answer I was looking for and now it's making me want to phone on Monday to see if a decision has been made over the weekend😂 I'm such a need to know right now kinda person🤦‍♀️

@Mommaof2babas haha its okay, I am the same I have to know the ins and outs of everything and it frustrates me when I don’t but also winds me up even more when I get told I still have to wait haha so I completely hear you on that lol I still can’t get over the fact that you’re with a CM and you’re so so close in having your decision I wished I had called today now to hopefully have heard the same thing. I am praying when you call on Monday morning that they have awarded you . That would be an amazing start to the week aye x

@Billie1993 awh I know it's so hard to not just phone! It's dishearting having to wait nearly 1 1/2 hours 2 hours to be told nothing and it makes you not want to phone again but me being me I gave in and I'm so glad I did! I really hope you are with a dm/cm aswell! Awh I really hope so aswell! And it definitely will be a amazing start to my week and hopefully you maybe get a text or call on Monday! Thank you for all your support!x

@JJO15 thanks lovely xx

My last text was same as you too! Keep each other posted🤞

Hi
I’m waiting nervously keep trying to ring I’m on the phone for 30/40 mins then I have to hang up
scan date - 14/07
last text date - 9/10
hopefully not much longer I’m going to try ring Monday, is there any better times to ring ?

@SarahHmumof3 9am on the dot is definitely the best time to phone!

@Mommaof2babas i am so glad you did also as you’ve given all with the same scan date or close to hope that we don’t have that much left to wait either to relax as the wait is over and we’ve all been awarded or to get ready to do another dreaded wait to do an MR although I am hopeful for us all it would be for us all to relax 🥰. I have a strong feeling yours definitely isn’t going to be long and you’ll get the award you finally deserve hun I am hopeful to, thank you hun you’ve also been massive support also :)x

@Asdmummyhere Thank you , I really hope there is an answer by Monday 🤞 either way I just really want to know now. I will update after I've called on Monday 😊 I agree everyone is lovely on here and so helpful! This thread has honestly kept me sane the last few weeks of waiting so thank you everyone xxx

@Jaysworld I'm still waiting from 6/7 and worried about a decline also. Have you called for any updates? Do you know if it's gone to a dm? Mine only went on to one on Thursday from what I was told and there is another person on here from 5/7 @Melliee that was told hers only went to dm yesterday. 🤞 For all of us that we get good news very soon! The lady I spoke to on Thursday said it can be with a dm for a while cos it depends how far down their pile your form is and also if the DM wants to contact anyone on your form for more information which obviously can take a while for it to come back etc.

I’m the 5/07 and still waiting to hear. Does anyone ever get awarded during a weekend? Or just weekday?

@Thismamalife I've seen several people on the FB page im on saying they have dms working Saturdays. No idea if they are right or not. I suppose it's unlikely they all work weekends though so will depend if the DM your actual form is with is working at the weekend. I would love to know this too as I'm 6/7 and still waiting to hear. It would be lovely if they all sent out texts when a decision had been made so we all knew what was going on!

@Cheesywiggles I just seen on Facebook somebody an hour ago said they had just received a text saying they had been awarded so I think they do work Saturday xxx

@Tmxx that's good to know , thank you! 🤞 Some of us may hear something today then! Xxxx

My scan date is 28/09 so what am I looking at around January time ?

@Mummyto2lads j would say early February hun as Xmas holidays etc 18 weeks from scan date xxxxxxx

@Cheesywiggles I haven’t been able to ring as my little boy has just had surgery on Thursday and has been quite bad since, I rang a couple of weeks ago and was told it should be going to a decision maker the following week which would have been this week! That makes sense though for it to be with a DM for a while if they need more evidence x

@Jaysworld bless you I'm sorry to hear that , I hope your son is ok and makes a good recovery. I should think it has gone to a DM this week , try not to worry too much I know it's really hard not to. Yeah I think it really depends on who it's given to and their workload , how thorough they are etc. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you hear some good news very soon 🤞 xxx

I can see a whole lot of us ringing 9am Monday 😅😅🙌🏽 who’s with me xxxxx
