Morning everyone just wanted to say when I called last Monday I was told it’s with the decision maker and it will be another 2 weeks wait but I got the call on the Wednesday with my decision. I’ve seen people on fb awarded those week and they are the 12th so hopefully you will all get a call this week x

Hi everyone, is anyone any further forward with their claim. I rung this morning it's now 12 weeks and been with DM for about 2 weeks and still no decision. All they said on phone is whenever a decision is made I won't get a letter for about 10 days after that

Mrsm1987 · 27/06/2022 09:43

I'm almost 11 weeks not even sure if mine with dm I give up ringing them now hopefully some more people heat this week

Hi guys Iv been reading all your messages and it has been very helpful. My form was signed 19th of April, I ring often to be told different waiting times. My son is 3 and is autistic but also has mobility issues. I called Friday and they said I was at top of the list, it’s really frustrating as you all know. Hope we all here soon x

Mrsm1987 · 27/06/2022 13:31

Mrsm1987 · 27/06/2022 13:33

Sorry let me start that again I've read a few threads and people saying different some recieve decision by text some get a call off dm

Mrsm1987 · 27/06/2022 13:35

And some get letters? Also some people have recieved money in there accounts before any response

MummyofPPH · 27/06/2022 14:38

I received the letter sorry this is taken longer than expected blah blah blah back in May. She told me on phone estimated time is 10 weeks and then said oh your on week 12. Then proceeded to say you can ring if you want but it's just for your own benefit as it won't speed anything up. Getting frustrated now and I'm dreading all this waiting being for nothing. She checked system and said there no notes for then waiting for any additional information or people to get back to them so I don't know what the issue is.

MummyofPPH · 27/06/2022 14:39

Anyone any further forward from phonecalls ?

1977s · 27/06/2022 14:48

Leanne12321 · 28/06/2022 09:09

Hope people get some good news to.I just called not with DM but she said it was signed on 13th and they are working on that date this week!

MummyofPPH · 28/06/2022 09:34

I phoned again and I just got it's with case manager and case managers work in date order depending on their workload and was told to ring back in 2 weeks if I've heard nothing. So I have to ring back at 14 weeks. Mine was scanned I'm the 8th April.

Leanne12321 · 28/06/2022 09:39

Why with case manager is that the same as DM thats so ridiculous 14 weeks is a p* take

Leanne12321 · 28/06/2022 09:40

I'm in week 11 now

Mrsm1987 · 28/06/2022 10:07

I'm not going to bother ringing I'm few days behind you leanne so I just keep checking hear to see if any off use have herd

MummyofPPH · 28/06/2022 10:47

I'm guessing they are the same because I was told the other day with the decision maker and today I got its with the case manager and they will make a decision when they get to the claim in date order. So I'm guessing still few weeks away because 1977s is at 14 weeks and I'm on at 12. I'm just not ringing anymore because I'm sure it just gets more frustrating 🤣
