Following on from part 18
as there’s only around 30 comments left x

Our scan date was 2/8. got a text 9/10 still looking at it, then another text 31/10 still looking at it.
Were approaching week 15. I see that some of you have been told 18 weeks so hopefully not long to go

@Jaffacakesrlife We are around the same time, I’m 1/8. When I phoned a few weeks ago about evidence they said we should get a decision first week of December x

Thank you so much for that. I have tried calling but been on hold for an hour and gave up. My DS is only 3 non verbal and development delay. hopefully we get a decision soon xx

@Mummyrach13 what do they mean by missed? How did they miss it? 😂 I'd be asking to put a complaint in regarding that may get your case looked at quicker 😉🤭 I don't know when I'm "eligible" to escalate and put in a complaint for wait time xx

I no its been asked a lot of times but do we think the 5 weeks after the last text is legit coz it's 5 weeks today for me

Oooooo I'm 23 weeks for CoC 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 wasn't expecting anything until Xmas have the sped up a bit then??

Can someone please tell me difference from case manager to decision maker is one more tougher than the other? Xxxxx

@Rebeccanew I don't know the difference but mine went to a case manager Friday morning and a decision was made by lunch time Friday, I didn't receive a text I had to phone up this morning to find out I had been awarded mrc.
My scan date is 12.07

Here you go

Ohh well done @Mommaof2babas quick turn around…mines just went to a case manger this morning I’m just confused to what the difference is in case or decisions I’ll call again in the morning see if any update hun but we’ll done on your award hun xxxxxxx

Did you receive a letter confirming that the DM has accepted your reason for reporting the change outside of your assessment period? Or did the letter confirm the amount of the back payment? If so then it’s 3-5 working days from that letter

A new prescription of melatonin is certainly worth sending in as that proves over night care. They won’t look at that and assume all over night care has disappeared as a lot of children still don’t sleep that much with melatonin and will still need assistance

@ohhollyfred I was told 28 weeks a few weeks ago but today she said they reduced to 25 weeks the week before last and now they are working at 23.5 so that’s good

Ive caved im currently on hold for an update!

@Rebeccanew what was your scan date

@Billie1993 I rang and it’s with a DM 😬 So nervous now! Scan date 12/07

@Sskanf 10/7 hun what’s yours mine only went this morning xxxxxxx

We got rejected, I'm absolutely heartbroken, my boy can hardly walk some days, and he can't be up all night in pain. I don't know what I did wrong. There sending me a Mr form, how long do these usually take? He's due major spinal surgery in January and really hoped it could be sorted for then.

@Rebeccanew I seen your post about having a rubbish day, really hope it gets better for you. I have a sister with a similar situation and understand how stressful it can be, hold in there ur doing your very best im sure. Really hope u get your worthy award very soon and that perks u up hun.
Ohh my scan dates 12/07 so don't think there's any point me calling yet..I'm sure you'll get something end of today or tomorrow morning

The letter says they’ve accepted my reason. That was on my journal today

I’m confused about this? Can someone please explain 🤣

48 mins and counting

@Jaffacakesrlife my ds is the same, 3 years old non verbal and development delayed. Can I ask did you submit any evidence?

@Wildboysmum18 it says how much they owe you, I imagine to won't be long until you receive it x

@Mumofasd3 what's your scan date
