I called the long way around got the most helpful woman ever!! She said a decision is made at 16 weeks but they have to tell us 20 weeks and for me to call back later on today? Either she was calling my bluff or there is some truth in that? Will call later around 3pm and will keep you posted :)

Sorry not really wait time related as my wait is finally over but I just thought how strange the whole process is. My middle child gets MRC and LRM , he has a diagnosis and needs more help than my other child who recently just got awarded HRC and LRM… I’m not complaining and filled both forms out with accurate info, my other child on HRC doesn’t even have an official diagnosis ! Just think it’s so strange and must be subjective as to who reads your form!!?

If it was a DM they usually send a text to say they’ve tried to call and leave a number for you to call back on x
