My dd scan date is 20/02 and it’s already with a DM. It has been since 21/02 … soooo, they’ve said, hopefully not much longer now as they are working through their end of Jan workload.

I think they are in the second week of December, except a few random ones from Jan, no?

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 :)

Have you tried calling again ?

Most of them are renewals and people winding others up if you look most of them have the comments turned off

Anxiouslywaitingmum · 04/04/2024 16:14

I don't believe anything that's put on the FB group, especially when it's a anonymous poster 🙄

@Emmajm85 @TiredTilly any of you ringing today xx

I’m not going to manage to call now until Tuesday I don’t think. But if I do get a chance tomorrow or Monday I will 😂 did you call today? Xx

Summerrabbit · 04/04/2024 16:41

I’m 15/12 & know others near my date are starting to get awards. I’m hoping it isn’t much longer but I do wonder if we’ll get declined. I hope those left over from Nov get answers soon ✌️.

Not necessarily. It depends on the severity of the children’s circumstances. I’ve rang up three times over 2 different days (today and yesterday) and have been told the same info by three different agents, so I’m guessing there must be some truth in it lol.

Thanks 🙂

Hope you all get a Decision soon🤞🏻

I've just started so long waiting looking at everyone's messages 😩

Mine is 12/01 so I still have a few weeks to go. However it’s only a CoC so I am not really sure where I stand within the made up timeframes 🤭

Maybe they have? There is no need to be bitter about other people rewards?! We’re all in the same boat!

TheHeadOfTheHouse · 04/04/2024 16:54

I’m worried about a decline too.

scan date 15/12

HRL · 04/04/2024 16:57

Also 15/12 🤞 we hear something tomorrow or next week

1slamkh · 04/04/2024 16:58

I just wanted to clarify, there is no need to be bitter about other people being rewarded before you. Some people have children with severe needs, which will definitely get prioritised first. Also, each DM has a different workload. Some are still working through Nov, whereas others are working through Jan. Just because you are not seeing posts from others does not mean it’s not happening. I.e. my son scan date was in Dec, and he got awarded whilst other people in Oct were still being awarded. We are ALL in the same boat, and rather than tearing each other down, we should be supporting one another. So please, do not compare your claim to another persons as their child be severely ill :) lets remember to be mindful and KIND! Thanks! :)

If they been awarded then they have been awarded 🤷🏽‍♀️ am not saying they didn’t get awarded. It’s just that some posts have their comments off on that group.
