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

Hi!
Since I've rang on Monday morning nobody has called me back. The lady from the call centre did say that it usually takes up to 48 hours to someone from the decision team to get back.
Knowing that they not working on those dates this week anyway.. I will wait until the next monday and will ask for an update. It will be 16 weeks o. Monday.

They really know how to push limits ! Hoping there sorting a decision for you ready for your call x

Thank you I really hope so. I've heard that if there is an award that apparently they ring up themselves very often - the case worker.. but if the letter is coming through the post.. then no award unfortunately it means.

It's so so bloody stressful this waiting time worrying for 18 weeks plus another 16 weeks..
I'm on row with SEN at Local Authority already and this is like a topping on the top of everything going on for the past 34 weeks.
My son will not start normal school this September. He will be at home under my care bless him, as he has no where to go and he needs an EHCP urgently to help him thrive and send placement of course.
I really hope that there is a light at the end of this long long tunnel 🙏✨🙏
I hope that you will hear a good news soon too for you baby 🙏🙌❤️xx

Same here no space for disability school and the ehcp is taking sooooo long !! I havnt heard anything back from the panel yet . But I know mainstream is definately to unsafe for her . We will keep fighting for our baby’s !! Fingers crossed u get a call today Xx

Thank you lovely 🙏Awwh Bless her 💖 Fingers crossed for you too guys 🤞🤞✨🙏xx

Anyone with the same date as the 16th April for a mr I’m still waiting ?

My scan date was 9th April (I think) and I had a letter today saying they refuse to change their original decision

aww no way I’m so sorry that has happened I’m absolutely dreading mine but if they do decline I will be doing an appeal I’ve got probably another week to go then if you have just received your letter today

Oh God I'm so sorry to hear this 💔😥bless you guys 🙏
Yes. Same here. I'm absolutely dreading for the news next week or so. Scsn date 15th April. It's so nerve wrecking every day. But we must stay strong and fight for our babies we have to stand for them 🙏💖xx

Have you heard anything yet I think I might call them to see if a decision has been made good luck to you fingers are crossed

I applied for a MR on April 11 and called up today for an update. Apparently a letter has gone out in the post and the “case closed” but that’s all the info she had. What on earth does that mean?

Can you update if your calling please my nerves are a wreck lol x

What was your outcome ? I’ve just been told the same xx

Yes course I will I’m going to ring up in an hour or so I will let you know hopefully they have made a decision and it’s not in a holding pile still best of luck to you

Thankyou fingers crossed we get what our babies need 🤞 xxx

Hello!
It's incredibly hard to get through them today 52 minutes on the line then a lady did pick up and sadly it did disconnected sho. Now on the line again for another 40 minutes to get through the department and they did say that they are working on 15th of the April cases now and that my son's case has not a allocated case manager yet so it's holding a pile still but should not be any longer for a decision to come through.
🙏🤞🤞🙏Xx

Thankyou for letting us know I hope it goes to dm asap for y u Xx

Everytime I’ve tried to ring today I’m on hold for 30 minutes and it just cuts off I’ll try again tomorrow

Aww me too hopefully by the end of the week 🙏Thank you very much 💖 Fingers crossed 🤞🤞xx

It seemed so busy today the phone line.
An hour and half approx on the phone nearly 2 hours in the end when finished talking to the lady on phone.
Yes try to ring up first thing in the morning hopefully you can get through to find out more and to have a good news for you guys all fingers crossed 🤞🤞🙏xx

Thankyou fingers crossed for you too I will let you all know tomorrow how it goes

Rang this morning 45 minutes it took they are working on the 15th dates and told me to ring back on Friday he did say they should have a decision by Friday nervous now good luck everyone still waiting

Just an update I called yesterday apparently it is with a case manager. MR date 12/04, the person I spoke to said they would email to find out what’s happening and request for someone to call me. I’m going to wait until Friday to hear back if not I’ll call on Friday.

Has anyone had a positive outcome by letter when they weren’t able to see decision on the computer over the phone?

Positive outcomes are usually told over the phone when they say we’ve sent a letter it usually means the original decision is still the same before an MR
