Mandatory reconsideration part 1

[Emma2345]

Started this thread to help people pass the time and also communicate time frames and outcomes going through the process of a MR

@Jonesy0102 yh I got told was with dm last week so all just full of shite x

I was 13 weeks friday, no decision made when I called Thursday. No letters or anything yet!

@4outof4 Oh god so it really is taking up to 15 weeks then 🙄 that's not good long wait again! Good luck hope you hear soon

I really really really hope it's not 15 weeks... I'm still hopeful with 9 weeks after a couple of people got their decision around that time last week.

We are now at 8 weeks we just received a letter saying mr could take 15 weeks did you receive one of those for your MR

If they need medical evidence checked or need to speak with schools/hospitals there is an added wait to hear back from others!

How long are mr taking ? Done mine 8/2 would be 10 weeks to moz and still nothnk rung last week they said can take few more weeks

@Emmal1234567 we all seem to be getting letters saying up to 15 weeks,
a few people last week who were about 9. weeks and 2 days got their decision,
i'm at 19/2 - actually on hold as we speak - not expecting any new information though

I'll be week 7 on Monday, my daughter's CAMHS therapist is leading the referral onto the ND pathway as she sees what I see, we're not seeing her now until 30th April, do I ask her to write a supporting letter for DLA?

so i've phoned twice this morning and on both occassions they say I need to redial and select the option for mandatory reconsideration - but for the life of me I can't hear that option - any clues anyone please?

Option 5 2 2 let us know how you get on

Think it's just luck or the draw as I'm week 9 and told taking 11 to 15 on phone and that was a decision maker who told me n told me il hear by June but hopefully isn't that long just depends who's.pile your in & how fast they are as mines still apparently in a holding que x

Think il ring Monday if not hear oat before x

ok - so got through using options 522 as mentioned (after about 50 minutes) they said they are working on 5th feb at the minute (i'm the 19th Feb) so hopefully that might give you an insight of where things are at the minute

I hope that helps

Ok glad you got through in the end thanks for the update x

@Sarahdestiny 👆🏻

Morning, everyone. We're going to move this over to our SN Children board, where we think lots more people will find it useful. The Childcare board is more for threads about nurseries, childminders etc.

@Jonesy0102 hopefully that's true x

Just called for an update. MR fo was scanned 1st March. Apparently with case manager and decision maker has 4 weeks to look at it. They said to expect letter by 2nd week in May. Hanging on by a thread....the wait is ridiculous

Anyone around the 1st of Feb heard anything yet please

@126t Have you phoned to check? The woman I spoke to this morning said that they were working on MR's from 5 Feb

I have called the person I spoke to said it was in holding queue plus also had a letter saying now 15 weeks

Hi I called today the lady said a letter was sent out on the 16/4/2024 but she can't tell me anything about it

@126t I'd personally call back - they'll know either way - and if you have been declined again, just say, "I've been advised to take it to tribunual"

(I mean you are being advised in reality by everyone in the group)

I just called back to the general question about awards they have said no change to the decision the lady said I have to wait for letter
