My sons took 16 weeks exactly to get an award I’ve had no text or anything I’ve just rang and the guy said it’s awaiting to be looked at so hopefully might be next week! X

Great news! Congrats on the award.

Hopefully April will be a faster month for them to get through like I think March has proving to be. If I’m right February took closer to 6 weeks for them to get through. But

17 weeks this Friday scan date 5/04. Getting unbearable now😩😭

CyanFawn · 29/07/2024 15:23

So my dm must be the slowest on the planet or its all the evidence I sent. Rang just for update and they said its still open but with the dm, has been since the 18th of this month they said should be any day now but ring back Fri if still heard nothing and they'll look into what they can do as once with a dm it should only take 10-14 days.

17 weeks tomorrow, I almost called today cause I'm out all day tomorrow but don't want to know that it's still in the pile so I talked myself out of it. Keep hoping I'll just wake up to back pay. Could use the money to keep the kids busy in the holidays cause ill be honest it's rinsing me dry having two high energy kids 24/7 and having to find things to keep them occupied all day. Today we went to the park and they ran and ran for 2 hours, got home, 30 mins later theybwere bouncing off the walls again

Impatience got the better of me and I rang .. not with DM yet ..

Emssxo · 29/07/2024 18:14

@TwinklyFox I rang last Friday scan date 5/04 was also told not with a decision maker yet. I genuinely think it's going to be 20+ weeks before I hear anything good luck to everyone ☹️

Mialeighx · 29/07/2024 18:24

Does anybody know how long MR’s take? And do they send any acknowledgement of receiving and starting an MR? X

Hiya chick, hope you are well. This wait is super stressfull especially when may/june dates are being awarded . I also feel like ill be one of the unlucky ones who waites 20+ weeks before getting a decision but hopefully we hear soon though 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Emssxo · 29/07/2024 19:23

@Brittany95 you are defo not the only one feeling that way and I'm sorry that we're still waiting 😩 I really hope everyone waiting hears something soon!!! Was you told to wait 20 weeks when you rang?

That's how I feel now..got hopeful seeing later dates but then rang and to be told it's not allocated yet made me feel more disheartened but hopefully not much longer for us now
