She is 8 she hasn’t had speech and language for a year cause school cannot find one at the moment so they were old reports I’ve been panicking thinking I hadn’t put enough but I’m happy with my award. Best of luck to you

Haha the amount of stuff get done whilst on hold is crazy isn’t it! I’m half a kitchen painted so far.
wondering if it’s actually with a DM yet they told me it was then apparently it wasn’t so goodness knows what will be today 🙈

Margot82x · 07/03/2024 10:37

@xxAmy 22/11, feels like a lifetime ago I called for the forms 😂 xx

Coffeeandcrocs · 07/03/2024 10:39

Spoke to a lovely lady called Hannah this morning ( ended up having a general life chat 😂 ) who said I'm top of the holding pile and should be going to a DM very soon. She also noted on lots of extra things for me which have changed since I did the initial application which was nice of her.

Scan 16/11

Mommyof4children · 07/03/2024 10:39

Well just got of the phone he said it’s in holding que to see DM and claims are still taking 20 weeks, 😂 different story everyday x

Sarahdestiny · 07/03/2024 10:39

Quick question my son has been accepted for a blue badge .. if I send this to dla do you think that will be good enough evidance towards the MR for high mobility I started the mr 3 weeks ago thanks x

xxAmy · 07/03/2024 10:40

I just had a lovely lady! She said her name is Pam or Cam… but she definitely wasn’t the same horrible Pam 😂
she said from Monday onwards should be with DM. They have been behind and are catching up and taking on over time, so they’re still behind the 15 weeks but ‘averaging’ 16 weeks to get to DM

Lisa12188 · 07/03/2024 10:46

Destiny35 · 07/03/2024 10:55

The guy I spoke to was lush!!
So it’s been with a decision maker since yesterday and should have a decision by the 20th March.
He said it takes up2 2 weeks for decision usually quicker but that’s the timescale.
can’t believe all the rest feeding me crap prehand lol!
Now anxiety is kicking in good and proper!

Fudgie9922 · 07/03/2024 10:56

Just got off the phone..

He first told me 10th april not even been looked at by CM when I questioned it and said it's been 15 weeks he said oh hold on a min then said oh sorry yeah so you will definitely here something by the 11th March (16 weeks excaly) I said oh thank you so much my birthday and he was a nice chap didnt count the weeks properly but then I'm like that's 4 days so a cm and dm to have a look..... didn't say it was with anyone when he told me the date just said will recieve a text and letter... concerned its a decline

Muvva1981 · 07/03/2024 10:59

Quick question . Assuming I get awarded for little man , with the initial date called for forms 9/11 and scan date 30/11 when would it be backdated from ? As I read some conflicting information about the initial payment date x

EasygoinyAmy · 07/03/2024 11:01

@KaylaOG yayy!!! 🤩

Margot82x · 07/03/2024 11:04

managed to get through after 56 mins, new evidence has been ‘lost’ told me to send again, it’s still in holding pile. And the other advisor told me I’d have a decision by second week of March lied 🥲 I give up 😤 xxx

kristie198 · 07/03/2024 11:04

Should be date you called for forms but mine doesn't seem to work out quite right so I need to wait for the letter
