Here we go again ladies. I thought I would do a new thread rather than commenting on the 2024 one.

Post any updates / declines / successes here 👌🏼

Did everyone's email come through at the same time that has been successful? Not sure if it's worth keeping checking today or not. Assuming I've not been successful as I've not heard

I got email to say I’ve been successful for 3 children. The email came through at 10:36

Demi251 · 07/07/2025 11:31

So I’m guessing the successful ones got there email today and everyone who wasn’t which is me 😔 will get an unsuccessful email by Friday absolutely gutted it needs to be worked out better then this the old way worked better

Cottonbud777 · 07/07/2025 14:33

Looking at last years forum, it looks like some people received funds without even receiving the email. May just be wishful thinking but we can only hope 🤞🏻

Bianca16215 · 07/07/2025 14:33
