Incase it helps anybody - on Tuesday when I called it wasn’t with a DM yet. And I was awarded yesterday. So looks like it’s going fast once with a DM

Thank you Fudgie. The wait is driving me bonkers!! My friend got awarded mrc and lrm for her daughter about a year ago and she has very similar needs to mine but it still doesn’t fill me with confidence

Destiny35 · 07/03/2024 11:36

also my scan date is 14/11

Lolly966 · 07/03/2024 11:38

20/11
gonna call when I get back from picking my daughter up from preschool as got cut of 3 times yesterday 😩🤣

MrsW12 · 07/03/2024 11:43

It’s like the whole process is just a lottery. Some get looked at sooner than others and some have a decision sooner than others once it’s been looked at. So tempted to call but end up getting more frustrated

NGTMamma · 07/03/2024 12:11

Has anyone done and MR?
my scan date was 9th July, asked for a birth certificate to prove I had a child (which they lost), then asked for more information At Christmas- which i sent first week in January- second week in January I got a letter saying it had been declined, called and they hadn’t scanned the additional information…I’ve appealed it via MR, not heard anything- called today to be told it’s going to be another 6-8 weeks!

I thought MRs were done within 2 weeks!

I’ve had to take 9 days off work in February for All my daughter’s appointments! She’s under 3 different consultants, has ng top ups & on multiple medications per day! WTF?!

Emma2345 · 07/03/2024 12:12

congratulations to all awarded today & 🤞 for all of us still waiting
