This is all so draining, I don’t know how everyone copes with it all I’m on week 12 with my son and just rang up to get the forms for my daughter to get the ball rolling for her, I’m so tired from it all think I’m mentally drained 26/02 parking x

Congratulations on your awards. I’ve just seen on Facebook someone awarded from April. New claim took 34 days all in!

What Facebook group are you on please? Xx

Matilde08 · 14/05/2024 18:51

@Persianpoppy so so happy your little one have finally been awarded 💝👏🏻🎉💐🎊🥳🫂

For me..another day of silence from them. I feel we have been neglected in some way. I have no idea what else to do at this point. Obviously will wait till Thursday and call them but I don't think I will mentally cope with another keep waiting outcome.. not after 25 weeks of waiting...

Persianpoppy · 14/05/2024 19:15

Oh my love! 😭 you are definitely next I can feel it! They told me to wait until Monday and they didn't have anything at that point, off a whim I rang today because I missed a call from them.
I know it is exhausting but maybe try call again tomorrow? I'm not leaving this thread until I know you have been awarded! ❤️❤️❤️ xx

I am going to call tomorrow to try and claim financial hardship.
I work full time and I don’t claim anything benefit wise but it’s crippling us in costs.
I don’t think it will taken as seriously as someone on UC but I’m gonna give it a go.
I don’t understand how claims after my scan date are getting seen and I will quote that to them.
