yeah my scan date is 22nd. I’m shocked you haven’t heard anything yet! I know a few people have had a text over the b/h weekend to say they’ve been awarded x

Ltb17 · 05/06/2022 16:32

There was dms working over the weekend as overtime, was told Wednesday when I called they would be in for decision making over the weekend but phone lines closed. Sadly still not heard though

Sodie · 05/06/2022 17:13

I'm phoning first thing tomorrow.

Nicky80catri · 05/06/2022 17:27

Katelouise95 · 05/06/2022 17:30

I have a feeling they will be bombarded tomorrow lol

Following this page as I have a scan date of 28th March. The wait is awful and kills my anxiety!! So hoping for a good outcome!! I only have a supporting letter from the school and just what I’ve filled out on the form. My son is 6 and shows a hell of a lot of signs of autism so just hoping we will get it but I’m not to confident x

Emma1789 · 06/06/2022 03:42

I finally got my letter for my daughter 17th May. I got back pay 24th as the dm didn't authorise payment. And today I've been paid 2 weeks I thought it was paid 4 weekly?

Sodie · 06/06/2022 07:04

Good luck to everyone ringing today. Hope we get good news.

Katelouise95 · 06/06/2022 08:18

I’m 11 weeks tomorrow. I’m praying when I call today I have some answers! Fingers crossed to everyone else calling today too! :)

Nicky80catri · 06/06/2022 08:46

I will be on the phone at 9am. 12 weeks this week x

Kelsmaizey · 06/06/2022 08:51

Mines 10 weeks today. Not sure if it’s worth calling or not x

Kelsmaizey · 06/06/2022 09:11

They’re working on 23rd-30th March this week he just told me. And I’m best off not ringing until next Monday! Stressss!!! Hopefully you all get some good news today x

Indr · 06/06/2022 09:16

Scan date 15th March called first thing today as 12 weeks tomorrow still with DM they sed last week would have a decision by today

Decafflatteplease · 06/06/2022 09:21

Is anyone waiting on a change of circumstances? Ours was scanned end of Feb, rang about 3 weeks ago and was told they were working on 13 Jan and to expect a wait of 18 weeks. Think it's been about 15 weeks now uurgh.

Ltb17 · 06/06/2022 09:23

@Decafflatteplease my change of circumstances was completed 3 weeks ago. Took 22 weeks in total. That actual wait time for coc is more 20-24 weeks as they aren't picked up as priority

New claim 23rd march, not heard anything. Not going to call, I think it's likely a rejection so I shall just wait for a letter

OP posts:
Nicky80catri · 06/06/2022 09:24

Well I just phoned them to be told it's taking 8 weeks. I said it's been 12... No response from her. Still no decision. I give up xx

Ltb17 · 06/06/2022 09:28

@Nicky80catri is yours with dm? Usually they would flag it by your point. You obviously got through to someone who just couldn't be bothered this morning x

OP posts:
Sarah3587 · 06/06/2022 09:31

@Ltb17 23rd march here as well. I’ve not heard a peep either. A nice lady told me over the phone last week that ours was in the over time pile.
don’t lose hope.

Nicky80catri · 06/06/2022 09:36

@Ltb17 yes Hun been with the DM about 10 days now. I am not hopeful lol xx

Decafflatteplease · 06/06/2022 09:38

@Ltb17 did you get what you were hoping for with coc? I just want to know either way if we are successful or not it's so hard waiting

Hopeful110 · 06/06/2022 09:40
