[HangryLimeBeaker]

Making a new thread as other one is getting full, come join the wait and drop your scan date 💜

Just seen backpay waiting to clear in my account, scan date 29/4!
No text or letter yet, new claim.

Eek! That's my scan date too!

Congratulations!

I’m also 29/4 I rang this morning was told that it was still waiting to be looked at hoping it will be this week x congratulations on the award xx

Amazing! Congratulations xx

I'm the 01/05 so hopefully not long however they have just changed his meds to higher dose but waiting for new prescription so I can send it off to them not sure if it will reach in time by the time I get the prescription

Phoned and did my MR today was told wait is up to 25 weeks!!! Wtaf 😒

Has anyone been awarded without adding the info from someone else? 14 year old DD has EBSA, anxiety and emetophobia though not all with a firm diagnosis. She is on the ASC pathway. The only people that really know her true struggles are family. Do family statements hold much weight?

I've never given a statement from anyone else and always been awarded.

Our statements have been from grandparents.

17/04 tried to call again today yet got rude woman again ! I’ve called today and once last week and they just really make me feel silly for calling . Seen so many awards past my date and I’m happy for all awarded as I know you must all need it but I’m sooo tired of waiting ! I guess pregnancy hormones don’t help

What's even worse, even though you did your MR yesterday it takes a couple of weeks to actually go through the right department and get on the system so you will have a new scan date and it won't be yesterday date, if that makes sense. I put in for an MR 23rd of May but they changed it to a COC instead as I got awarded HRC but no mobility for when my son turned 3. I'm 7/06 scan date for COC which is stupid because if I don't win it I will have to do an MR afterwards, so I know your pain

My scan dare is 26/4 and still not with a DM. I literally didn't think about it until we hit 15/16 weeks and now I'm stressing every day over it 😫

Morning

I have more evidence that I need to send in is there anyway way that I need to prep it?

I'm the same, @SamBusyMam. Was fine til Monday (17 weeks). Now my date is being awarded, I'm a wreck!

Child's name, DoB and the DWP ref on each page. Then it can get tied up.

29/4 I’ll phone at 9 am xx

Good luck let us know how it goes 🤞🏼 xx

19/4, the security questions were mad they wanted me to say the name of my other child that already receives DLA all so wanted me to say the date I rang last, with DM tho x

that's crazy isn't it! good luck x

Thank you, good luck to you too, hopefully not long for us xx

Promising for us 29/04 people! Well. Promising if it yields the result we want! 😬

Hi! I called yesterday (25/04 SD) and was told it was waiting in a queue for a decision. I don’t know what this means really but an update for anyone with a date near mine 😊

Got a text xx

So I called for an update, I told myself I wouldn't but I did.
Still not with a DM week 16 of mr, I did ask if it could be prioritised due to the fact that I am having to reduce my hours at work from next week for numerous reason to do with my son, he sent a email off to the case manager department so we'll see.

@mamof3darlings Congratulations!!
