No I’m j January I only called as I haven’t had any confirmation on receiving my claim forms and was shocked to find out it already with a dm

Ohh fab! Hopefully you get a decision quicker than some of us on here. My scan date is November, so getting fed up now 😄 x

She put me through to someone else and he found it. He said the decision maker has written “award is likely” but nothing else. He said shouldn’t be more than another 2 weeks wait. Just relieved they found it 😅 x

That's good they found it have they still not received the national insurance number yet x

Same happened to me yesterday 2 different people couldn’t find my details then they transferred me to the centre which has in more detail that what the call handlers have. They found me with the reference number but not his name or DOB.
do you know if your has been seen by a dm?x

I was getting panicky that they’d lost it after 19 weeks 😂😅

Yes it’s been seen by a DM, he said they’ve written “award is likely” so that’s why they’ve gone ahead to request the reference number he said. At this point I don’t know what to believe to be honest 😂 x

We are always hearing different things 😅
Did they give you an estimate for when you’d get the NI no. x

mummytooneboy1 · 26/03/2024 17:04

Scan date 6/12 I've just called using the 512 route mines with a DM, has anyone called this way and they've just put you back on hold and someone else's has answered the call?? Xx

Well he said it shouldn’t be any more than 2 weeks, but I was told that start of last week so I’m not sure I believe him 😂 as nice as he was. Are you waiting for NIno too? X

No nothing 🙄 he said it shouldn’t be anymore than 2 weeks. But bank holidays coming up, so that will surely add an extra week or 2 😂🙈 x

Oh wow, 32 weeks! That’s crazy. It’s such a long time isn’t it.
awh, thank you. Sending lots your way too. Fingers crossed we all hear soon 💕 x

Yes my scan date is 20/11 I think I’ve called about 10 times. I keep getting told it won’t be seen by a dm without the NI number and should approx get it by 5th April. Then after that gotta wait all the weeks it will be with the dm🙁 x
Ill probably call again tomorrow 😂

Keepgoing88 · 26/03/2024 18:23

Omg after being on the last 5-6 boards of this we have been awarded scan date 06/12. Got a text at approx 5pm to say he’s been awarded. Don’t know anything about amounts etc. never got a text with my other child so it’s nice to have got one ! No money in bank yet but guess I will know in a few days.

Ohh really? So maybe the info I was given today wasn’t right 🤷🏻‍♀️ He did make it sound like they’d only had a scan through the form and are getting the NIno just incase it’s an award. I’m not expecting to get a decision until May I don’t think 🥴 anything sooner will be a bonus.
I wish they could just tell us at this point if there is an award what it is, or if it’s a decline whilst they wait for the NI no to come through. At least then we would know either way and could start preparing for an MR if it’s needed x

Honestly they just tell us all different things it’s crazy. They told me it’s not possible to go to a dm without an NI number. But they told @kristie198 it’s with a dm just waiting for NI number also other people I’ve seen on this thread say the same, no NI but with a dm.
ive started collecting for MR, I feel like I didn’t explain enough his also 2 and they don’t seem to like awarding below 3.
how olds your little one xx

That’s what I find frustrating I think, is that you get a different story every time you call it’s not fair really. The wait is long enough, we could at least be given the correct info on the process 🙄😅
I think I’ll start collecting too. I wasn’t in the best place myself when I filled in the form and kicking myself now for leaving things out.
Awh, my little one is 3. She has Cerebral Palsy. I haven’t sent much evidence. Just the paediatrician report, and health visitor and physio wrote up a couple of things for me. I hope it’s enough x

kristie198 · 26/03/2024 15:28

I'm not sure I think they've all been dealt with 😂 xx

I’m still waiting with scan date of 23/11 🙏😅

KatexCR · 26/03/2024 23:58

@OpalsInOctober @Keepgoing88 congratulations!! So glad you have your awards 👌. Just want mine now, I'm ringing in the morning, it's been with dm since at least last Friday (I didn't ask on Friday when it went over because I was too busy silent dancing when she was telling me on thr phone 😅). X

Kezzia87 · 27/03/2024 00:30

Put in for a MR on the 19th of jam and received backdate today… that puts the siting time at 10 weeks exactly for anyone else waiting! So glad I don’t have to take it to tribunal!! Good luck everyone!!

Scan date 30th Nov

Lower rate care would be only around £500 I think for that date I'd say maybe middle rate care x

ADHDMOMOF3 · 27/03/2024 06:58

Scan date 5/12
woke up to a payment of £1815 in my bank, MRC and LM I believe

so glad this wait is over

Newtonianmechanics · 27/03/2024 07:00

@mummytooneboy1

Thank you. You are right. I had given up hope.

I was seeing all of the Dec and January and was waiting for a decline.

This will help so much.

Hang on guys waiting.

Keepgoing88 · 27/03/2024 07:01

If I ring up this morning will they tell me what award I’ve got. Got the test yesterday afternoon to say I’ve been awarded. Scan date 06/12
