Good luck to us all waiting for awards 🙏 here’s hoping we get lots of positive outcomes.
Ive just linked the new thread ladies xx

@Matilde08 thats an awful wait bless you!
Ours is 13 weeks today.
@Kaz87 Does it depend on where about a live or do all the forms go to the same building? We live in Hull, East Yorkshire

I don't think it depends on where you live I know some people from here are from west midlands and are still waiting for the decision even tho their scan dates are early January. Mind you all the form go to West Midlands area as is Wolverhampton x

@HonestPanda hoping to hear back from them this week as when I called them last week, they marked it like priority 🤞🏻
I don't think it depends of where about you live, I'm personally live in Wolverhampton and the office is located here.

I want to phone again but I phoned Friday morning so doubt any change but I’m twitching… this is a long wait xx

Hi Iam waiting for an outcome for Mr. It’s been almost 4 weeks now. I was told from 8-12 weeks ☹️

I'm on 12th week waiting for a Mr decision, Ive phoned this morning and still hasn't been assigned to a decision maker 😫 x

Oh my that’s long 😭😭😭😭 how long did they tell you???

He said currently they are working at 10 weeks for a Mr so he marked me as priority but then said that could still take 2 weeks to be looked at 🙄😫

Hey guys, my forms were scanned in on the 14/02, currently on week 12 they said I should hear back the end of may has anyone else with forms scanned in February heard back yet? I’m trying to get as much support for my daughter as possible but a lot of these groups I’m attending for her said they can offer her even more support if she’s on MR dla. She’s been diagnosed with autism recently after arguing with professionals since she was 2 years. Also does anyone know any groups that I can take her that also offer support in the mean time in the HA postcode areas?x

Well just got off the phone with them he asked for bank details for security so after reading other posts on here about being asked that then told they have been awarded I got my hopes up but nope he says it's still with a decision maker and no decision has been made but can be made any time from now to 10th June 😑

Hope we here this week

I'm Gateshead but on the edge not far from Northumberland!

I caved and phoned and spoke to a man who put me on hold for ages and said that I’m looking at June 20th for a jan 22 scan date. I am not phoning anymore it’s stressing me out too much. You are told different things every time you phone up. He said it can take six weeks or longer for them to contact other agencies and I’m like great as I know that can slow it down aswell. Xx

My scan date is also 22/1 I was told no later than 10th June

Scan date 22/1 been awarded MRC and lrm today . Feel so relieved

@mumofboyngirl I’ve called today and somebody told me it’s will decision maker since 06/02, I said that can’t be true that’s my scan date and she kept saying it wasn’t. I asked her to put me through to someone else, spoke to other lady and she apologised that the woman gave me false information.

I then said that I am in financial hardship atm as I’ve had to stop working due to sons needs and she seemed annoyed and said they will make it priority to the managers who will take it out the queue. She didn’t asked me anything else? Not circumstances or anything? Is this how it was for you please hun?

6.02 Just rang for the first time, still in a holding pile and isn't yet with decision maker. So disheartened. I explained struggles and she said she'd leave a note for decision maker to eventually call when they recieve it

They also said I need to send his birth certificate which was sent and returned at the very beginning. God that call has made me feel so disheartened. I thought I might have some news this week however looking very unlikely

Nope. Managers did ask me for my circumstances. Did you get anywhere with it then? Sorry for the late reply. I have not been on mumsnet.

Yeah they pulled it as urgent, was given to a DM on Sunday and awarded MRC on Monday. Don’t feel like they read his application or evidence thoroughly to make that decision so quick as his needs are clearly higher and mobility. I’ve put in for MR and his professional involvement are writing more evidence to send off. MR up to 3 months he said. At least he is awarded something in the meantime.
Hope yours comes along soon!
