🤣🤣 the amount of stories is untrue. I take what they say with a pinch of salt but the lady I had yesterday offered loads of information without me even asking. She said it's gone to a cm and that it can take up to 2 weeks for them to look at it as they get given a pile to work through. But it's normally 7 to 10 days and the payment is authorised that day. She said if I've not heard anything or money hasn't dropped in account in 7 to 10 days then call back for them to escalate it. She sounded in the know, unlike a lot of them. So I'm taking that as a positive haha!
If I've not heard by Wednesday I'm going to call before the long weekend starts....and then I'll probably be fuming in time for Easter 🤣🤣.
I reckon yours will go next week then if mine went this week. X

It's crazy with how many stories they actually come out with, il never believe any until what they say actually happens! I bet after easter it will be oh easter has delayed us 🤣 Il let you know Monday if its with anyone when I phone x

I’m 6th December and when I called last week (15 weeks ) it wasn’t even with a decision maker but I’ve seen people early December being awarded. I’m going to wait until Thursday next week when I’ll ve over 16 weeks to call. I guess there might be some delay with the Easter bank holiday but I’m hoping to hear something before the Easter holidays are out!

LittleMiss2000 · 24/03/2024 14:01

Scan date is also the 13th December. Called on Friday not very helpful tbh. They said DM may have to contact the nursery. Our daughter is 11 ! Not gone to a DM for another 2 weeks.

Hiya, I'm also 12/12 I rang on the 20th (Wednesday) and they said it will be going to a DM within 2 weeks. The man on the phone told me there now looking at 18 weeks for a decision now.

I'm 15/12 and apparently mine has been with a DM for 2 weeks and when I phoned Friday he said I should have a decision this week but I'm not hopeful as every time I ring it is a different story Confused

MyNavyMaker · 24/03/2024 14:21

I think they make it up as they go along when you call them 🙄 hoping you all get your outcomes soon x

Dize · 24/03/2024 14:22

Hi, just thought I’d drop a message to give you all
a bit of hope. My scan date was 5/12, I rang Thursday to ask if I had more time to send evidence in and got told it wasn’t with a decision maker and to send it in. I then got a message on Friday after 5pm to say my child qualifies. So I went from not being with a decision maker to having a decision the next day. Hope this helps others. Also does anyone know when I’d be expecting a payment if my daughter got awarded on Friday? TIA

My son was awarded Friday morning and they said payment should reach me by Wednesday, he even explained how much and worked it all out to make sure the rates was correct

HRL · 24/03/2024 17:13

Quick question, do they send the evidence back to us after they’ve made a decision?

Jadexxx92 · 24/03/2024 17:15

@HRL no they keep all evidence

Scan date 22/12 seeing dates not long before mine being with a DM makes me anxious, vowed not to call unless I absolutely have to though! Sent extra evidence via special delivery yesterday. Hoping it gets scanned on before it goes to a DM. Hope you have good news this week I'll look out for your username

12/12, nope, apparently with a DM when I rang Tuesday but that can take 2 weeks or so, so hopefully hear by next week when il be 16 weeks, going by this, we could hear between now and 2050 😂
