7/11 - has been with the DM for 2 weeks. I phoned to give update from OT and they said that I should hear imminently (that was 2 weeks ago), so every day that goes by I’m reminding myself that we’re a day closer to a decision.

Oh wow. Are you waiting on a NI number? Does your reference start with CL?x

I think it’s do with the NI number. Those who haven’t been assigned one yet start with CL

Just spoke to a lovely lady called Karen, she was really ill bless her, coughing and spluttering down the phone 😬,
Scan date 7/12 been with a dm a few days, said decision should be any day now as they're not waiting for anything else, and they're aiming for decisions around the 16week mark.

@Leopardprintleelan yes let's hope with being told the same thing. I will be ringing end of next week to check if its gone to DM

Summerrabbit · 28/03/2024 09:25

I’m 15/12 so on week 15 but I’m thinking that Christmas & Easter will mean that it actually ends up being 18 weeks rather than 16 (unless they’re factoring Christmas & Easter in to their 16 week target).
