Currently on hold hoping for an update!! Proof of delivery 25/08, I've never been able to get through on phone I just want an update! It's so frustrating

Dolliesmama · 18/12/2023 09:50

maltesersarethedevil · 18/12/2023 09:58

I'm still not with a DM scan date 16/08. It's so frustrating how they change the timescales all the time

RaychieBee · 18/12/2023 09:58

My scan date was 21/08 and still not on a desk if that helps 😂 been told not to bother calling till the end of January

Kellylillybelly8 · 18/12/2023 10:05

RaychieBee · 18/12/2023 10:07

@Kellylillybelly8 its absolutely ridiculous. Some people have had decisions and some people still waiting who had earlier scan dates

Kellylillybelly8 · 18/12/2023 10:10

It's crazy but I just give up calling now

Kirsty111 · 18/12/2023 10:19

Let24beabetteryear · 18/12/2023 10:22

Just got off the phone to a lovely man didn't give me much information regarding which pile my claim is at just did a week count and said I'm looking at after Christmas possibly middle of January and to call back at 21 weeks if not heard anything sent in additional information beginning of December and asked him to note that its there just not scanned in and could I be notified by text. Scan date 16/8

Ellmay1820 · 18/12/2023 10:30

I've called today, lovely lady. Claims still sat waiting to be allocated to dm/cm, she said should be after Christmas period, early January latest. Said I can always call back the first week of January to.
Scan date 17.08 Xx

Anne92 · 18/12/2023 10:38

Just spoke to a lovely lady. Form received 25/08 and scanned 25/09 waiting to be allocated a DM but looking at another 3 weeks! She put note in system to update me via text. Logging off and enjoying Christmas, hope your babies get the decision they deserve

Dolliesmama · 18/12/2023 10:47

Same thing 23/8 scan. lovely man answered the phone and told me its in a holding pile and should be with a dm end of December and I should hear the middle of January, im not ringing again now waiting it out if I get any updates in the mean time ill let yous know x

funinthesun19 · 18/12/2023 10:48

23/08 here. I’ve just not bothered calling at all because it’s so disheartening you’re told nothing is happening yet. I think I’ll probably wait it out until the end and wait for a letter to arrive. Every time the post arrives or I get a text I’m always full of nervous hope! x

Dolliesmama · 18/12/2023 10:49

I have extra evidence im debating sending off as a lot more has happened since August but if my lg has to have an m. r. I don't know if to keep it for that, can't figure out whats best to do.

RaychieBee · 18/12/2023 10:58

If it helps anyone I saw a post on Facebook and a woman had phoned at 9am last week and was told her claim wasn't even on a desk and was going to be another few weeks and 3hours later the same day she had a text that a decision had been made. I'm pretty sure the call handlers are making it up as they go along 😂

Looloo12332 · 18/12/2023 11:03

Anymore good news today? Xx

Ajm1325 · 18/12/2023 11:21
