Yes I get that! But I've been asked to be transferred coz apparently it's still with a decision maker and I told them I'm not happy if those after me are getting decisions before me lol.

Oh thats good news though that yours is with a d.m

😂😂 do they not have different piles though ? 🤣 And different centres? So obviously some are going to work faster than others? Haha

Tasha0429 · 09/04/2024 14:53

I came to say same 😂 shocked! And was a lovely lady, my scan date is 1/29 and she said i should have a decision within 4-5 weeks 🙏🙏

Yeah I was told I must ring back if I haven’t heard by 20 weeks

Gretty89 · 09/04/2024 15:50

Hi everyone I feel like a massive stalker haha! Have just created an account because I need to talk about this!

So scan date was 19/12 I called on 22/03 told it was with dm called yesterday and was told it’s with a dm still and to check again on Friday if I haven’t heard 😬

Im so anxious now the wait has been so long and with everything that’s been going on with my little girl the last few years I feel like a bludy mess!

im worried because it’s been with a dm for so long it’s being held up by something? Is this a bad sign? Thanks x

Tasha0429 · 09/04/2024 15:55

@Berosey54432 mines a COC ? Maybe that's why? Mines only the mobility part,

@Gretty89 Totally normal, i think even when they say it's with DM they still have so many in a pile on the desk if that makes sense, I'd still ring tomorrow though 😂 and everyday till Friday 🤣 x

TheHeadOfTheHouse · 09/04/2024 15:57

@Gretty89 really is awful 😞 no bloody need what so ever x

Mysticwolf9299 · 09/04/2024 16:19

So after talking to the lady, it's in the desisons makers to do pile, not even been looked at yet, so I've just posted off some further potential evidence. Apparently I'm looking at least another 2 weeks.

Is yours a new claim. I'm 8/1 so there's hope it could be any day x

CornishMama2 · 09/04/2024 16:34

18/12
MRC and LRM- Im really happy they have put on mobility for when my child turns 5 (in a month) but Im sad about the MRC. I think he should be HRC.
He is 1-2-1 whenever awake, wakes lots in night, reg toileting changes day and night, stims crazily at night, no danger awareness, non-verbal, doesnt really understand what you say..etc....
MR or just leave it?
I had about 30pages of evidence so I doubt it will be reduced, but no evidence of night needs as who else would know except parents?
