@CornishMama2 nice to have a date companion! You are also very close to us @MLW92 @Girlandboymama.

I really hope the time flies 😂 I can't cope already, still have a good 4/5 weeks wait 🤣😩

@Kezw2601 I'm 8/12, hopefully not much longer now! 🤞 I've only recieved 1 letter with the scan date stating it will take up to 15 weeks, what are the second letters for x

My scan date is the day before yours, 7/12, I've also only received 1 letter x

Wanabeamama · 05/03/2024 13:33

Thanks @SkittleFox I’m in the que been on for 35min so far not sure my anxiety can handle any bad news though.

SkittleFox · 05/03/2024 13:36

@Wanabeamama what is your scan date? Don’t worry hun I’m sure you’ll have good news but if not for whatever reason you do an MR and most are successful xx

Wanabeamama · 05/03/2024 13:38

@SkittleFox they sent a letter in November to say they received the forms back on 31st of October is the scan date they received the form back?

I received another letter saying 'sorry that we have not given you a decision yet. Can take up to 15w no need to call us' - I got that one on 18/01 seems like a lifetime ago 🤦‍♀️

My sons got awarded today. Scan date 8/11
HRC and LRM

she told me how much back pay does that mean that it’s been sent and in process to the bank?

I think that’s the scan date then. Did you send a lot of evidence through? Maybe they’re contacting people? Definitely speak to them. Keep us updated xx

xxMumofthreexx · 05/03/2024 13:48

@Kezw2601 @Alfsnan84

it's so random how some recieve these extra letters and texts then others don't.

I'm going to wait until 15 weeks then give them a call to see how much longer we are looking at x

I think so, I’ve just been awarded and she said payment was sent today. Should be 3-5 working days from today. Hope this helps x

mummyof3girlsx · 05/03/2024 13:50

Hey everyone, my payment got sent Friday and I got it today xx

Wanabeamama · 05/03/2024 13:56

@SkittleFox i don’t feel like I sent a huge amount just some stuff from school and her asthma nurse and allergy nurse I’m worried I didn’t send enough ,
she has asthma, allergies and eczema and also has processing issues dyslexia and possible autism/adhd been waiting a long time for educational psychology review because girls are great at disguising it she doesn’t cause disruption in class and waits until she’s in the comfort of her own home she has a lot of medication and because of her sensory and processing needs this takes hours at night to get her through her med routine she will kick and scream for hours because she’s itch but won’t have met meds or cream wheezy but won’t have inhalers

bonz2023 · 05/03/2024 13:58

Right I know it doesn't matter and I should just be happy I've been awarded but she told
Me my back pay today and it's 19 weeks, backdated until 19th October so my back pay from then is to 29th Feb, so will my next payment be 4 weeks from 29th?

I know this is trivial when people are still waiting for I like knowing 😂😂

Wanabeamama · 05/03/2024 13:59

Absolutely gutted just got off the phone she’s not been awarded I’ve known people with much less issues be awarded it’s really not fair she said I have to send a letter explaining why I disagree but I haven’t had a letter to say why she wasn’t awarded

xxAmy · 05/03/2024 14:09

@Lolly966 are you in here…
I just called because I couldn’t help myself. Had a slow man named David.
he said scan date is 20/11 that only 11 weeks 🤣🤣 he didn’t check anything at all only counted 3 times on his paper calendar that I could hear him flicking through after I corrected him and said 15 weeks he said oh yeh my coffee stuck a month together. Officially give up now! 😂😂

Oh no. That’s horrible. I feel so bad for you. Can I ask what her issues are? Did you give much evidence? X

I'm so sorry for you, I had this yesterday and felt the same, my niece was awarded with practically identical issues, luckily the guy I spoke to told me the reasons the dm put and logged for MR yesterday and I have to send further info, so I'm going to send all the requests for her to be seen and denied as thats all I have. You can request MR on the phone and send info in later, thats what the guy I spoke to told me to do, fair play he was really lovely.

Gemmaoscar · 05/03/2024 14:19

@bonz2023 I think so sounds about right I think it’s paid on Tuesdays hopefully the letter arrives soon xx

Already does lol but we’ve hopefully got less time to wait than we’ve been waiting now so 🤞
