Spoke with them this morning she also said it’s been with a DM since the 8/1 so I’m still clueless to how close I am or arnt away from an answer

Emmajm85 · 11/04/2024 09:51

I’m desperate to call today, even though I know there will be no change 🙈
21 weeks tomorrow so every day that passes now is getting closer 😂

Huge congratulations to all awards so far this morning 🥳💕 xx

@Kaz87 morning love, totally normal I think the same, lol I've been overthinking everything 🙈 that's it, you fight for what she deserves ❤️ be hopeful I'm sure she'll be awarded 🤞🥰

@Berosey54432 Hi
I never send LOADS of evidence as it's pointless they don't have time to read it all, they skim everything, a echo is more than enough if it's got everything you agree with init ❤️ it's got your input plus a healthcare professional input, and that's more than enough, that's all I sent this time. Always been awarded .. stay positive 🥰

Morning everybody, I just thought I’d send an update on mine (still relatively new) scan date was 13/2 and yesterday 10/4 I received a letter saying ‘sorry we have not made a decision yet the wait time is upto 15 weeks’ I am assuming a general letter to say ‘we haven’t forgotten about you so please don’t call us 🙄’

Yeah I got that letter last week I'm 5/2

Hello if you don’t mind me asking, after the verified transaction n UC how long does it usually take for a decision? Thank you xx

I think it’s MRC, LRM, which is what I think I would view as fair. We have reports saying he can’t navigate roads safely and that there is a lot of care needed day to day but no nighttime needs. Now just have to wait for the letter to confirm what has been awarded and also very important how long for.

So so relieved and now just need to hear of awards for all you other lovely people on here!
