Yep 08.01
So I got straight through, I tried to ask first if its worth sending my daughter's EHCP application through depending on where the application is. She just says ring back and select all other enquiries than hung up! I'm now on hold trying again

I need to go out so I ended the call.
They have 72 hours to go through all our applications!!

Chickapea77 · 19/04/2024 11:54

@SAM2409 we have the same date. Did you get a text on Monday?

SAM2409 · 19/04/2024 11:57

nope haven’t received a text yet :( did you ?

Persianpoppy · 19/04/2024 12:08

Update (scan date 04/01):
@Kaz87 according to the lovely female I spoke to, she said that 04/01 and 05/01 scan dates are being dealt with this week and next. She's told me to ring in on Friday next week to confirm again. She did say that they had a massive back log but they've finally filtered through it and going at a much faster pace with all other applications. I hope this helps you too! &'everyone else on this feed.

Fee89 · 19/04/2024 12:16

@Persianpoppy Sounds like you got someone in a good mood. Hopefully this time next week everyone upto the 5th have their outcome x

First time I've gotten someone nice! Usually they're soooo rude and miserable!

There’s no voicemail… why? 😫

Twinnies010920 · 19/04/2024 12:34

Phoned for forms june 2023
Scan date sept 2023
Declined jan 2024
Sent MR once i gathered some more evidence and scaned 13th march
Rang last week to see if they recieved it and was scanned before the dead line which it was thankfully as royal mail had it down as still not delivered for a week. The lady said usually MR are taking 8 weeks but as there behind your looking at about 12-15 weeks in most cases 🤢 but to ring back at 8 weeks and theyll be able to tell me if its anywhere near a another decision 🤦‍♀️
