@Velaris92 thank you! Good luck to everyone else still waiting 🤞🏻 xx

Just called, she was a nice lady on the phone but told me that claims are taking 21weeks, not including Christmas week & that they go off the scan date not the date the pack was requested. So I’m 18 weeks on Wednesday so will likely be in the new year now.

she just said a decision hasn’t been made yet….does that mean it’s with the DM or waiting to go to the DM? I should have asked on the phone really 🤦🏼‍♀️

mamaofgirls5 · 11/12/2023 09:16

I just got off the phone to DLA.

My daughter was awarded MRC and LRM on 06/12! I actually cried on the phone as I was fully expecting a decline with not a lot of evidence etc.

Scan date was 01/08 and last text was 31/10.

I hope all of you who haven't been awarded yet get an answer soon either way, the not knowing is the worst part.

Velaris92 · 11/12/2023 09:39

Yeessssss!!! My daughter’s been awarded mrc. Scan date 03/08 @Maxine92 hope you get through today and good luck

Maxine92 · 11/12/2023 09:42

Congratulations to everyone that has been awarded, 14/08 for me so hopefully not much longer😬

SingleMommaBoss · 11/12/2023 10:41

Hi all, I have been following the post over the weekend. Our scan date is 4/8 (last text 31.10). I applied and was so busy with the day to day life that I forgot it about till the weekend. I thought I should have heard something by Xmas, so found the post ☺️ to check times. I just called them and they said no decision yet, but it has been with a DM since Thursday, so hopefully not long now. Apparently no notes in the system for requesting for more information, just waiting decision itself. Anyone with same date?

Mumof2boys1girly · 11/12/2023 10:45

So just called scan date 10-8 and it’s in holding Que will be with dm by end of the week and to call back next Wednesday if I haven’t Hurd anything.

Tiredmum90 · 11/12/2023 10:50

I called at 9 my decision was showing as being finalised so they couldn’t tell me then so am on phone to them now to see the outcome

Tiredmum90 · 11/12/2023 10:51

Congratulations everyone awarded today

Oh I'm 10/08 so this is reassuring to know- the wait is agonising! 18 weeks this Thursday! Especially when we were told maximum of 15 weeks originally :(

Mumof2boys1girly · 11/12/2023 10:54

I know am so nervous I don’t think we will get it 🤦🏽‍♀️ but here’s hoping x

Kellylillybelly8 · 11/12/2023 11:03
