Just had a call - they can’t verify dob; it being awarded higher care and lower mobility!!!

Congratulations!! What's your scan date?

hello ladies!
my sd on text was 12/08
i called a couple weeks ago and was told there was backlog.
I didn’t send of evidence although I had it at the time I send it off I was handling a lot on my case. Does anyone know the likely chances of it still getting awarded with lack of evidence I wrote about all my child’s needs I do have evidence from paediatrics and hospital nursery etc do you think I should send it off now?

7/8

Ah, 6 days before me, hoping I hear soon too xx

Joining the thread :)
SD 24/08
I have called a few times just to be told no update trying to hold off calling again but the wait is giving me anxiety 😩 seems I’m not alone reading this thread

It cant hurt to send it, maybe give them a call first and see what they say aswell. But I dont see why you couldn't send it now cxx

Hi everyone! Just got woken up by my daughter so decided to check my bank! I have received a payment! Scan date 17/08! Looks like HRC and LRM

That's good news!

Hello ladies! My scan date is the 17/08 no updates yet I’m hoping I hear something soon!

That’s brilliant!! I have SD 18/08. So we may hear this week too.

Just called this morning to check extra evidence was received. She said my claim is still in the queue for decision maker but it shouldn’t be much longer as they are on top up to date with new claims estimating 8 weeks. So fingers crossed won’t be long. She also said she will update my claim to make sure decision maker sends a message then I can call up and ask for the details of the claim once text received. SD 24/08

Same scan date and I hate waiting lol

Just rang my scan date is the 17/08 not even with a decision maker yet unfortunately x

My scan date is 13/08 and no decision here yet, hoping will here soon. So anxious waiting

Does it log each time you call does anyone know? I only called Friday afternoon and don't want to annoy them by calling every 5 minutes

Morning all! Seem to get a different response each time I call. Told Friday was in queue for a DM , chased this am told system had update now can’t see progress only when decision made! I am scan date 21/8 - I’ve seen earlier in Aug claims receiving an outcome, think I’ll give up calling as a waste of time! Perhaps I’m a long way off, said they had massive backlog.

I have same scan date. I had a same response this morning

Thank you for responding - I hope our wait is not much longer x

Everyone gets told a different thing. I called this morning I'm 1st sept and she told me to call back again in December!

Mine is 07/08, I rang last Thursday and wasn’t with a decision maker yet xx
