Just realised tomorrow will be 11 weeks. We haven’t been asked for any more info or received anything other than letters saying it was received.

Gracie1909 · 04/03/2024 22:00

@Getoutgetout I think they grant it if it's needed even if you don't fill that part out. They just award whatever they must feel is needed. Congratulations. We didn't fill that bit as I was about confused, however we got HRC and lrm. x

Emma2345 · 04/03/2024 22:01

@Getoutgetout maybe yes they may of assessed the claim as tho she was 5 and you had applied for mobility and didn’t want you to wait another 5 months for the mobility to be awarded and added on cos usually when their 5 they write to you as ur then entitled to claim mobility so through all evidence that you provided they likely would of thought that she is entitled to LRM and decided you didn’t need to apply deffo ring tomorrow and find out aha x

oh right ok that’s great. I didn’t realise. I thought they’d make me apply again for mobility. That’s amazing. It must be something to do with the LRM. Thanks

I’ve worked it out!!!

10 weeks MRC plus 13 weeks MRC and LRM = 1916 plus the £10 Christmas bonus.

No need to call.

thanks!!

Yes me too, it's hard to feel happy when you see so many people still waiting feeling stressed and then people being refused after waiting forever!

I'm glad it's over for me though it was taking over my life

Gracie1909 · 04/03/2024 22:14

@bonz2023 yes I agree, it's heartbreaking the wait is absolutely shocking isn't it?! I feel for every single person battling though this. Goodluck to everyone on this thread, praying you all get what u deserve for your little people. x

Gracie1909 · 04/03/2024 22:15

The wait is disgusting, the whole process is a joke. The longer I wait the more pissed off im getting because im realising how hard we’re having to fight for what our kids need, shouldn’t be the way this day and age.
im on week 16 and its still with holding pile as of today apparently. Its a draining process and ill be so glad when its over. X

Parking.

Called for form 9/11 (17 weeks ago)
Scan date 30/11 (13 weeks ago )

my bestie was awarded at week 14 and a few in my village have also been awarded at this time so I’m wondering if it’s area specific as random as that sounds .

So I called and after an hour on hold I got through .

The lady I spoke to said a decision hasn’t been made yet and it would be another 3-4 weeks. Scan date 30/11. I was guessing beginning of April so I think I’m going to leave calling again until first week of April. Hope I receive a text soon :)

I’m on week 14 this week and the lady I spoke to on the phone said it’s going to be another 3-4 weeks so that maybe 17 weeks is what most are looking at. Hope it’s not too much longer .
