Wow yours is the furthest back I’ve seen so far. Loads have been awarded from 6th and 7th of December. I’m the 8th but heard nothing. Hope you’re sorted soon x

It’s honestly taking its toll on me now, DLA are aware of my daughters recent cancer diagnoses but since I told them and sent all the evidence off it feels like we have just been forgotten , praying we will hear this week! She needs so much stuff now with the persistent hospital trips and lengthy stays 🫣x

Really hoping next week is the absolute last week 🙁
and hopefully this is the last thread for us😂

Isn’t it horrific waiting so long and seeing loads of people getting their claims accepted after our dates 😂 no hate to them I’m glad for anyone who gets what these darling children deserve , the system is just broken! X

Hopefully the November crew will hear by the end of next week, with the bank holiday out of the way we shouldn’t have too much longer to wait surely!!

@kristie198
@TiredTilly

Fingers crossed roll on Tuesday I shall be giving them a ring 😂

I've called to check extra info etc has been scanned in, we have a appointment on Wednesday so I'll be calling to update after that. Last time I called I was told I'd have a decision mid to end of April xx

Yes that’s the number I’ve used, fastest I’ve got through has been 45 min, and longest has been just over two hours. I just put it on speaker and get on with something else. I need my phone clear for work first thing in the mornings which is when people say it’s fastest to get through. I’ve assumed they’re closed over the bank holidays, does anyone know if that’s right?

Summerrabbit · 01/04/2024 08:16

So sorry to hear you’re all dealing with that @Taffylass72. I feel like you should be prioritised. Really hope you get answers this week.

MimiRae · 01/04/2024 10:02

bobo1214 · 28/03/2024 19:06

I’m not sure, they wanted more info from the school (I hadn’t put anything in from the school) so I think because of 1/2 term it’s been a bit delayed, although I did phone again today and they said they had all the information, so worst case scenario it will be two weeks. The school have been fantastic so I just hope they tell it as it is, keeping everything crossed.
The next delay will probably a NI number. It’s the 1st time we’ve claimed so I’m assuming we don’t have one?

I’m in exactly the same boat here ❤️ scan date 4/12 and dm rang me last Friday to say he needed confirmation from the school but they are obviously now closed for 2 weeks 🌚 so hoping it all goes well when he can get in touch! And good luck to you!

also congratulations to everyone who has been awarded! The wait it a lot!! 😩xx

does anyone know how long it takes to receive the letter once an award has been granted. Payment received on the 20th match but still no letter

Jadexxx92 · 01/04/2024 11:23

@012345k it can take up to 3weeks. Some get it a few days after the award letter has arrived others wait longe

Jadexxx92 · 01/04/2024 11:25

@012345k I placed a car order under HRM on Saturday without my award letter

012345k · 01/04/2024 11:30

@Jadexxx92 thank you, I’ll give it another week and then give them a call to send another. It’s just for my own piece of mind I did hear right and my son was awarded HRC till he is 17. I don’t think I’m entitled to anything else

Jadexxx92 · 01/04/2024 11:39

@012345k yes I know what you mean I was the same with my oldest, I did ring back up a few days later just to re confirm lol

4outof4 · 01/04/2024 14:56

When they call you what number is it on?

0800 or withheld

Anxiouslywaitingmum · 01/04/2024 18:01

As expected it's been sooooo quiet on here this weekend.
Hoping there are lots of awards this week! I'll be calling Wednesday after our appointment and hopefully getting an update.
I'm only 12 weeks today so I know I still have a while to go x
