S/D of 03/07, when I called last week I was told that it’s with DM so should get a decision soon. Anyone with similar date?

CrazyKirsty · 13/10/2024 07:52

Yes SD 2/7, there's a few in that week now so we can all wait it out together. I need to change my phone number so I'm going to be brave and give them a call tomorrow so I'll post as soon as I've spoken to someone :) x

I'll be 19 weeks on Wednesday so might ring back then even though I was told not to ring back until the 4th week in October.

Anybody here waiting on renewal outcome?
Our first renewal, never got sent any forms or info on renewing, phoned and enquired about forms with 8 weeks to go until it finishes, got told we had to call and ask for them 6 months in advance, we got a 1 year award and it took 5 months to be approved- so we had to reapply a month later? surely not. Anyway, sent back the forms the next day- now not
sure if We have a 20+ week wait ahead of us, or if renewals are quicker? Anybody know please?

What did your text say if you don't mind me asking

AmberScroller · 13/10/2024 17:09

Those that received texts being awarded. Can I ask if you received texts during the wait? I’ve only received letters so thinking I won’t get a text?
