Scanned 06/02, decision was made today and was declined 😭 now need to wait for a statement of reasons to be sent out and hopefully able to evidence an MR. Absolutely gutting after waiting all of this time now have to wait more!

Oh no. So sorry. This is what I’m absolutely dreading.
Tons of good luck with the MR

Usually people in here says payment gets in the bank before you will know you been awarded.
If you don't, probably you been declined.
Again this is only what I been reading in here.
We are waiting for decision, scan date 12/02. Called yesterday and been told to call in three weeks.
