[Mummyrach13]

Following on from part 21 as it is about to become full! 😊

@CourtneyLxx Congratulations and thank you for the reassurance. The wait is insane and I feel like you never know how it’s going to play out xx

Hi all good luck to all still waiting. And apologies for any declines. Keep fighting for your LO.I had a payment in my bank for 940 . COC scan date 26th June. Not had latter yet for rates but am thinking they have put him upto mrc and lrm. As he was on lower for both.

28.7

Called at 9am got straight through to a lovely lady who said my claim has been marked down to be looked at over the weekend. Fingers crossed lots more awards today everyone.

@Amy92x that’s brilliant I’m hoping mines looked at soon fingers crossed for you x

@CourtneyLxx absolutely amazing news lovely. So pleased for you x

Currently on hold 20 mins got through at 9.02
first time phoning 16 weeks today so I’m sure they’re gonna say to wait but originally when most of us applied it was 15 weeks so as that’s what I was told gonna see what they say now

first text 13/10
secondtext 07/11
Good luck everyone

A long time lurker of this post, claim scanned 24/07, first text 25/09, second text 16/10.

Called this morning as hadn’t heard anything, we were awarded on Sunday 26/11 🥳

Lower rate mobility, middle rate care

@Mumof8boysand2girls good luck, please could you update when you can I’m 14/8 x

Of course
still on hold

Called first thing (have 2 claims in for my sons)….
My eldest got awarded 2 days ago and got HRC LRM.
My youngest sons is with a case manager now 🤞🏼
I sobbed when I got off the phone.
scan date - 27/7

2/8 my scan date surely I'm close to a decision fingers crossed I'll give them a ring next week if I haven't heard anything or if anyone around my date rings could you please keep me updated xx

@Vampiredette84 fingers crossed your is seen over the weekend also x

Hi has anyone had to go to a verification of people who live with you meeting at jobcentre after telling uc that child is now in receipt of dla? Just not sure what to expect I generally don’t go out due to anxiety as well so hoping can do it over the phone

@Tammie23 i am the same scan date, I called earlier this week. They said it was still in holding queue and would be with a dm 18 weeks from scan date then an extra 5-9 days for a decision

Still on hold 50 mins

@Mariannec oh thank you lovely so another couple of weeks to go yet then xx

@Tammie23 yes, but I’m also preparing myself for it to go a little over from reading on here that some 19/7 have taken quite a lot longer than the estimated times. There is about 10 years worth of evidence within the application so I’m expecting it to take a while to go through lol x

An hour on hold and disconnected
how annoying but I’ll try again

Bit of a lurker but wondering if anyone can help.

My daughter was awarded MRC and LRM at the beginning of last year.

Her award was due to run out in January.

I received the forms in August and sent them back in September.

This morning I had a random payment of £201.90.

Her next payment isn’t due until next week, any ideas what this one could be?

Exactly the same scan dates and texts dates as me! I've found a scan buddy!

@Kelseeyx I think we have the same scan date (03/08), if you call, please let me know what they say. I called on Tuesday and was told I was still in a queue hadn't been looked at and would not get a decision until w/c 18th December.

Hi scan buddy
been disconnected again but will keep trying
I also have a Jacob so another thing in common

We were originally told no longer than 15 weeks but now the automated message on the call is saying 20 weeks. I just want to know- it's such a long waiting time especially when they could just decline your application for support. Fingers crossed we hear something soon!

@Amy92x yep mines with a decision maker also lovely lady said it’ll be with them over weekend so let’s see

Are they many with scan date 25/7 still waiting? I'm going to ring first thing tomorrow morning.
